Hello, has anyone had this problem finding correct paint for Citroën? The sticker says it's EYPC** (grey metallic). But no spray or touch-up matches the actual car paint, witch is a bit more blue then grey. Any suggestions? Maybe some brands are more accurate that other? I just don't want to believe that the whole car was repainted with some random colour .)

Post up the VIN and we can check the colour code.

There are 4 - 6 variations of EYC. You need to go to a place that makes paint for the local bodyshops....they will offer a better service than on-line supplies

Not Storm Grey but Eritrea Red.
I had to touch up my front bumper recently, I grazed it along a Scottish boulder in a car park.

Anyways, I used someone on Ebay, they mixed it up to the door jamb number, they also supplied suitable primer and laquer, you don't alway use white primer! Perfect match to the car. I can send you the suppliers details if you like.
Good luck
