Nemo paint colours

Unread post by xantia_v6 »

The Nemo is made by Fiat, Are the paint colours standard Citroen range, or are they Fiat colours?

I am asking because I need some touch up paint for my E type, which is not quite the standard Jaguar Signal Red, so I walked around a car park with a sample from my car, looking for the best match, which turned out to be a Nemo, but I did not have access to its paint code. A C1 seems to be a slightly different shade.

A Fiat colour match would have some logic, as I think my car was painted Ferrari Red.

go into an auto body shop supplies company and ask to browse through there swatch's,

but if you require a shaky can go to Hal frauds as they are quite reasonable and make them up in some of there stores,

i dont usually advocate Hal frauds but in this case they are quite useful

Oops, my location was still showing as NZ, but I am now back in France! I thought I had updated my profile, maybe I forgot to save it.
No Halfds her either, but I did find a book of colour chips in the local Feu Vert, so I think I have found the right shade, but won't be sure until I have sprayed some on the car.
