Best aerosol paint for 206?

Post by Punx0r »

Hi guys,

My nan recently caught a post in her 206 and has asked me to replace the damaged door protector trims and sort out the scuffs/scratches.

It's a 3-door, 52-reg quicksilver.

Servicebox suggests these are the correct trims:

Are there any issues with using non-genuine trims?

My main question is about the paint: I've got the VIN plate copied down, but I can't find which part of it is the paint code? Does peugeot do aerosol cans of paint? I want the best possible colour match and thought they might be better than Halfords etc?

Thanks,
Anthony

The trim panels, the factory ones are clipped on. Aftermarket ones might be adhesive based.

The clips, you *will* need new as unless you are going to take them out and reuse them (they have to be fitted to the trim first then the whole lot is clipped in, well most of them) you`ll struggle. Re-using clips is quite difficult as they break, chances are if the trim has come off the clips are broken a bit anyway.

Cannot help with paint although another member will be able to I'm sure.

PS, Welcome :)

Thanks for the replies guys.

The ebay trims are clip-on, and it turns out they comes with new clips too.

I got a paint kit from Peugeot (colour and laquer). It was £9 but the tins are quite small (150ml).
