SKODA car paint 

As a manufacturer of automotive paints, we have a department dedicated specifically to the manufacture of OEM paints. There are of course the color codes of other European cars and among these, the color codes of Skoda cars, of which we have a very complete database allowing us to mix most formulas for Skoda paints.

The color codes of the Skoda brand can be offered in 2 versions, always in solvent-based paint.
• The Skoda matt base paint version for varnishing is the paint used in 95% of cases today
• Skoda direct gloss paint is a 2-component polyurethane version which does not require varnishing. It is reserved for opaque and old Skoda color codes only. It cannot be made for pearlescent or metallic colours.

To place an order :
Go to the page below concerning the Mate base paint.
Determine the quantity you need. Then, select the chosen packaging from the drop-down menu. It can be the aerosol or the cans of paint.
Choose the shipping method, then make the payment.

After ordering, send us your color code, so the Skoda paint can be prepared immediately, provided the order has been placed before 3 p.m. and dispatched.

To find out how much paint you need, you can find the yield in square meters per liter on the product page. Do a quick calculation of the area to be painted, to get the approximate total in square meters. For example 1 m² = 250ml, 2m² = 500ml.

Skoda car color codes

Our primary mission is the success of your project. For this, our team is at your disposal for any questions and for any advice.

Of course, it is imperative to take the time to read and understand all the instructions present in the product page below. There are no superfluous instructions. In the field of automotive painting, it is essential to take maximum precaution and care in the application of the steps, from the preparation of the support, through the mixing of the paint, until the application.

In general, 80% of the work and the success of the painting is done with the preparation of the support. Is it necessary to apply a primer before painting Skoda ? Yes, if a putty has been applied, or if the bottom paint has a lot of scratches. In such a case, it will be necessary to apply one or more layers of filling primer.

If your Skoda color code requires a particular color primer, we'll let you know.

For those who have never applied car paint and who plan to carry out repairs on their bodywork, at home, in their garage or in their garden, here are some quick tips :
It is perfectly possible to get a professional result, at home, even without a paint gun, with aerosols. Paints made according to the Skoda color code in solvent-based version are particularly easy to apply. Especially because they dry very quickly and do not run.

Always apply very thin coats or very fast coats. You use an aerosol, from left to right then from right to left. It's not about crossing the layers. Allow a slight waiting time between each coat to allow evaporation. This waiting time, interval between coats, depends on the ambient temperature, which is an essential factor in the success of the painting. Always paint on a dry, windless day with an ambient temperature between 15 and 25°C.
Concerning the mixing of your Skoda color code paint: if you have chosen a 250 or 500 ml format, then your paint is delivered ready to use, i.e. you only have to paint. If you ordered a 1L or 2L kit, then you need to mix the thinner into the paint. The mixture can be kept for years. The dilution is approximate and it is made according to your preferences. We advise you to dilute the paint as much as possible, which will allow you to apply ever thinner layers and to have a perfectly taut and ultra smooth paint.

The main advice for a successful Skoda manufacturer paint is to varnish your color code directly after application, that is to say by waiting 10 minutes, but not taking more than 20 to 30 minutes. This will allow the varnish to hang on the paint perfectly and without sanding.

The history of the manufacturer Škoda Auto

The car manufacturer Škoda Auto is the first manufacturer of Czech origin. The brand was founded in 1925 almost 100 years ago. Of course, the Skoda group existed before 1925, because by the middle of the 19th century the company was manufacturing weapons, and then bicycles.
A quite exceptional anecdote must be told about the birth of the Skoda automobile group. Vaclav Klement was a bookseller who owned a bicycle for which he could not obtain spare parts from the German manufacturer. So he sent them his bicycle along with a letter written in Czech. The whole thing was sent back to him, with a simple note saying that if he wanted an answer and help from them, they would have to receive "a message in a language they understand". Very disappointed by this response and driven by a desire for revenge, the young Vaclav embarked on the construction of bicycles and was to join forces to quickly develop a large factory, which was also to quickly manufacture motorcycles, then cars and trucks. . In 1925, this company was sold and became Skoda.

After being nationalized during the post-war period, it gradually came under the ownership of the German Volkswagen group, until it became 100% owned by it.

Nowadays, the Skoda group is present thanks to its sales in a hundred countries around the world and its annual sales are excellent, exceeding one million vehicles! You may be amazed to know that the car manufacturer Skoda offers the best margins and profits just after Porsche, among all other brands owned by the Volkswagen Group.

Where to find the color code of your Skoda car ?

For SKODA brand vehicles, the color code plate (vinplate) can be found in three different places.
- In the spare wheel compartment, located in the boot.
- In the engine compartment
- Inside the glove box.
You can take help from the images provided below which illustrates the location.
The color code is always composed of 2 to 4 characters (letters or numbers).
If the paint reference cannot be found in the various areas of the car, it is possible to contact a local dealer to request this information, which they are normally required to provide.
As for us, we can help you by checking the validity of a code, but we cannot find a Skoda color code simply with a model or a year, for the simple reason that the references exist by the hundreds.

This is what a Skoda color code or color name looks like (always in German) :

1S1S OLIVE GRUN SKODA 2005 - 2008
1Z CERNA MAGIC/BLACK MAGIC SKODA 2018 -

The iconic colors of Skoda cars

Of the 200 Skoda colors we have in our database, there are no particularly iconic colors. We can say that the Skoda colors are particularly beautiful, for an Eastern European manufacturer. In particular, modern colors with pearlescent and metallic pigments were able to give a modern and attractive character to most models designed after the 2000s.
Skoda color codes are always composed of letters and numbers, as is of use for all global car manufacturers.
The color code is always accompanied by the name of the Skoda paint. Why a double identification ? This is useful because in many cases there is confusion and there may be several color codes for a single color. This therefore serves as a double check to avoid an error, both at the manufacturer, at the dealer, and especially at the applicator of the repair paint :
