How to get an exact match to your paintwork?

Post by Napoleon »

Like the title really.

On the Xantia you have the code inside the bonnet on the bulkhead - nice and easy to identify Poseidon Green instead of just 'green' on the log book.

Is there any such code on the C5? The logbook just says that it is 'grey', well I can see that, even though it is not far from being black, imo.

How can I match the paint if I need to?

There should be a sticker in the door shut to the driver's door.
Will have paint code and RP number.
