Where are you located?

Did you ask them if they could order it?

They *should* be able to mix it from the colour code, but if they can order it in that would be better since the "off the shelf" cans are about 8 quid whereas the "made up in store" ones are more like £15. A trifle excessive IMO, for a tiny little spray can that you'd need about 3 of to do a bumper :(

Be interesting to hear anyone else's spray can suppliers and prices as we're after some Mercury Grey EZA soon, as well as a load of F*rd (sorry) Bardolino Red for our Escort cabby.

I got mine made up in Halfords, was really pleased with the result, Mativoire Beige metallic a non stock colour. The good thing is you can get a small pot first then a bigger spray if you need it. You will pay a bit more, BUT the trade off is that you can get it there and then on demand subject to them having all the 'ingredients'.

They had iron grey for Peugeot but nothing under Citroen, I'm guessing they must be the same but wasn't sure, also seen some paint on eBay under my code, but but worried on the match.

AFAIK the names are the same between Peugeot/cit and even if the names were different I'm sure the codes are the same.

We've looked for Gris Sidobre as well since some colours are listed in English and others in French so perhaps you'd have more joy searching for Gris Fer?

I would watch out, as some paint guides I've seen under the same code have a slight variance between the Citroen and the Peugeot colour.

Check my post here for the fourth letter in the paint code, you will have the Superlustre Pearl finish.

A local bodyshop suppliers should be able to mix you some paint while you wait .
