Citroën Paint & Touch Up Solutions – Accurate Colour Matching for Professional Repairs

Citroën vehicles are finished with a wide range of modern, solid, metallic and pearlescent coatings, all of which rely on precise colour matching for invisible repairs. At Rapid Paints, we supply professionally mixed Citroën paint and touch-up solutions, produced using verified manufacturer colour data to ensure consistent, factory-correct results.

Whether you’re carrying out a small cosmetic repair, restoring a damaged panel or completing a full respray, our Citroën range is suitable for bodyshops, SMART repairers and experienced DIY users alike.

Citroën Paint Codes & Colour Accuracy

Every Citroën is built with a unique factory colour identified by a specific Citroën paint code. This code defines the exact formulation of the colour and is essential for accurate matching, particularly on metallic and pearl finishes.

Paint codes are normally found:

• Inside the driver’s door.
• Under the bonnet
• On the vehicle identification plate or service label.

Using the correct code ensures:

• Seamless panel blending
• Consistent appearance across repaired areas
• Reduced rework and colour correction
• Professional, sale-ready results

Citroën Paint Codes by Registration

If the paint code label is missing or unreadable, we also offer a Citroën paint code identification service using your registration number. This allows us to retrieve your vehicle’s original factory colour data and mix your paint accurately without the need for manual code searching.

This service is ideal for:

• Older vehicles
• Imported models
• Fleet and trade users needing fast turnaround
• Customers ordering remotely without the vehicle present

Once confirmed, your paint can be supplied in touch-up, aerosol or full basecoat formats.

Citroën Basecoat, Spray Paint & Touch-Up Options

We supply Citroën paint in multiple professional formats to suit the scale of the repair:

• Basecoat paint – for full panel painting, accident repairs and restorations
• Spray paint & aerosol products – ideal for spot repairs, SMART work and trim refinishing
• Touch-up paint – for controlled repairs to stone chips, scratches and light edge damage

All products are mixed using the same manufacturer-approved colour formulation to ensure consistency across all formats.

When to Use Touch-Up Paint vs Spray or Basecoat

Touch-up paint is best for:

• Stone chips
• Light scratches
• Door edge wear
• Pre-sale cosmetic preparation

Spray or basecoat paint is recommended for:

• Panel repairs and repaints
• Blending adjacent panels
• Larger scuffs and impact damage
• Full exterior refinishing

Selecting the correct format ensures proper coverage, adhesion and finish quality.
