C5 Paint Code

[Guest Mike K]

Hi - can anyone tel me how to find the colour of my C5?? :lol:

 

OK - I know its green but what Green?? I've read the pant code is on the sticker inside the drivers door but does anyone know which bit is the paint code? & how I can look up which colour my paint code refers to?

 

The paint code should of course be in the service book but the dealer that sold the car didn't bother filling that bit in - which is helpful....

 

Thanks for any ideas/help!!

its made up of 4 letters. ezrc = silver for example. it should be at the bottom of the sticker. if its met green its most probs rainforest but not sure of the code.

It's quite easy to find out, remembering Peugeot and Citroen are both parts of PSA and share lots of costs ..

Is probably what you're looking for:

 

Mine's KPKD which reads as : Mauricus Blue / Perlescent

 

Fourth letter is the finish - with the previous three being the colour code itself

A - Opaque unvarnished

B - varnished non-metallic

C - varnished metallic

D - pearlescent lacquered

 

Hope this helps

 

(obviously - opening the drivers' door and looking at the sticker is a safer bet !)

You also know that it's varnished Metallic - so it'll be painful to match "just right" barring a professional respray :)
