Hey all, new guy from the Gold Coast here. Looking at buying an Octavia (MY18 base model wagon) over the next couple of days but yet to decide on a colour... Not sure if we want the basic Candy White or if we should go the Race Blue.

Anyone have any thoughts/recommendations? Are the metallic paints that much harder to maintain etc?

I have a Candy White RS wagon with black pack and white really suits the RS fantastically well. On the down side, white is a pain to keep clean and you don't get quite the same reward after a wax and polish as you do with a darker colour.

Race Blue also looks great and would be my choice for a basic spec wagon - I think white would make it look a bit 'plain'. The black pack, lower ride and bigger wheels help to 'lift' the white on the RS.

My previous (MY11) Octy RS wagon was Anthracite Grey, which is a metallic finish and I had absolutely no issues with it. I wasn't overly anal about keeping it clean and waxed, cleaning it on average once every three to four weeks, with a clay and wax once or twice a year. It was mostly parked under cover (garage at home and basement parking at work). When I traded it in 5 years later, it looked as good as the day I bought it!
