Citroen C5 X7 paint codes

[Ceenine]

Having the need to source some touch up paint recently (won’t say why), my normal supplier showed me no less than six versions of Blanc Nacre on his computer. He resolved the problem by using an electronic scanner on the car. I am yet to apply it to see how successful he was.

Any feedback would be interesting.

On rechecking the paint code on the B pillar I note that it is recorded as KWED not plain KWE. The appended D probably means Dark, which aligns with my experience of the supplied KWE being too light.

I see you finally posted the VIN on the other thread for the X7 (for future vehicles, please post VIN in FULL without missing characters or spaces - the Forum software obfuscates it on submission, so only staff can see it - but this relies on the full VIN being entered as is.. )

Ok, so paint code is listed as KWE: Pearlescent White Paint.

It has the following characteristic: Pearlescent three-layer metallic.

These are all listed as the same paint on multiple supplier websites, so unsure as to why. But you probably did the right thing by having is scanned - as this should factor in the age of the car's paintwork that is subject to discolouration and weathering that can happen over 10 years.
