Does anyone know where to get some touchup paint for my metallic grey 2011 polo 1.2?
Can I just get from VW dealers?
Thanks

I would get from VW mate. At least you know its half decent stuff and the best colour match. Its not much more expensive either

Wouldnt go to halfords as they charge above and beyond the price required. Dont know if vw do touch up quantites, im sure they only sell larger quantities such as 5 litre tins and then that need thinning for application. Id try your local body shop suppliers, they'll be able to sort you out wth smaller quantites at a cheaper price than vw.

Hi mate,
Not sure how much they would be from a main dealer, however i've purchased a few touch-up paint sets from eBay, for some reason there is a main dealer that are selling genuine vw gear on eBay for cheaper than it would be in the dealer itself. Can't grumble at £7.73, just send them a message upon purchasing highlighting the colour you want, if you don't know then supply them with your reg no and they will find out for you! Highly reccomended and probably a cheaper alternative to a main dealer!

I don't think main dealers are that expensive give them a ring. I always get one thrown in free when I buy the car as part of the deal
