What paint

Post by wizzer59 »

Hi All
Recently bought a C5 2.2HDI 136 Exclusive hatch in silver and would like to get some spay can touch up paint for a couple of scapes on the bumpers.

Anyone know where the paint codes are on the C5's ? and the best place to get the paint from?

It should be seen in the driver's side door arch sticker.
Check the pic sent by myglaren in this thread. I guess you also have EZR (arctic steel).

Thanks VertVega

Just what I was after, I did try the search function but I think some practice on that as well.

The code on my car is; EYCC how do find out what colour that is?

EYC --> Gris Quartz is what I found.

I usually use our Dutch brothers' website 8-) for paint codes and engine types :)
(link --> XantiaClub NL- PaintCodes)

Here is another one from UK --> Citroen Paint Colours

That's it. One of the most common/popular and long-lived colours out there.

Gris -> grey is English. I'm sure Halfrauds will have it and if not, they should be able to mix it for you no problem at all...

As Slivers go it's one of the nicer ones.

Thanks for all your help guys. I'm off to buy me some paint but if I'm honest I prefer Arctic steel as a name :lol:
