Does Anybody have Colour Chips for a 1970s Citroen?
Please could you look at your chips to see if ac436 brum cigale is lighter than ac427 brum scarabee?
I am trying to order the paint for my Citroen GS, the paint code is ac436 but the paint on the bulkhead under the code seems to be a lighter shade of metallic brown than the outside of the car. My friend thinks the car had been painted at some point in a slightly darker colour. In 2007 I bought two tins of colour match aerosol ac436/ac427, I remember one was a good match and the other a bit lighter than the bonnet. I am thinking the car was originally ac436 and has been painted ac427. My thinking is to order the orginal ac436 and the car will turn out lighter than it is now but I just want to be sure before I order.
Thanks

No chips here, but that door is darker and less milk chocolatey.
I know monitors/iighting etc doesn't make screen judging pictures easy, but
AC-436 is my car (seems to be a MY78, MY79 poo brown metal, a bit more reddish):

whereas AC-427 is like this (earlier MYs more greyish brown)
