Citroën Paint Codes & Touch Up Paint Guide

Need your Citroën paint code? The most reliable match uses the full manufacturer paint code together with the model and year. If the code is difficult to find, your registration can help narrow the vehicle details before the colour is confirmed.

Touch Up Car Paint supplies UK-mixed automotive touch up paint in pens, bottles and aerosols for Citroën models including the C1, C3, C4, Berlingo and SpaceTourer.

Where can I find a Citroën paint code?

Paint-code label locations vary by model and production year. Check manufacturer identification labels around the door apertures, engine bay or other vehicle information labels, as well as service documentation. Compare the code with the model and year rather than relying on the visible colour name alone.

Registration, paint code and colour name

A registration identifies the vehicle; the paint code identifies the manufacturer colour formula. A colour name by itself may cover more than one formula or production variation.

Why can Citroën colours vary?

Metallic and pearl finishes, production changes, age, weathering and previous repairs can affect how a colour appears. Test mixed paint in a discreet area before completing the repair.

Pen, bottle or aerosol?

Use a 20ml pen for small chips and fine scratches, a 30ml bottle for controlled local repairs, and a 400ml aerosol for larger prepared areas. Primer may be needed on bare substrate and lacquer may be required for gloss and protection depending on the paint system.

Citroën paint code FAQ

Can I find Citroën paint from my registration?

Registration details can narrow the vehicle and likely colour information, but the manufacturer paint code should be checked where possible.

Is the VIN the paint code?

No. The VIN identifies the vehicle; the paint code is a separate colour reference.

Do metallic Citroën colours need lacquer?

Many basecoat metallic and pearl systems use a clear lacquer for final gloss and protection.
