Has anyone tried one of the kits,Kit Code Btkw 4 - D.I.Y Car Touch Up Paint Repair Kits And Automotive Car Paint, or would I be better off visiting a panel shop?

I can get touch-up paint made up at one of my panel shop clients if you give me a paint code. Being off the code only I can't promise an exact match though, and I won't post it, so depends where in Melbourne you are. -
Just to wrap this up, I ended up buying a touch up kit (9ml bottles of base and clear with brushes in the lid) from a VW dealer for $20 - they just needed the VIN.
Definitely the way to go if your paint isn't faded.Resident grumpy old fart

Can anybody please tell me how to use the touch up set, it comes with a base coat and a clear coat and i can't figure out which one to apply first? I don't understand why VW would sell kits written in German to AUS.

Base goes first. Try to keep the paint inside the scratch/chip, otherwise it will stand out like...you-know-whatComment
