Peugeot Medium Blue (KGW) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This specific shade had a brief but impactful run in 2012, appearing across the entire lineup from the compact city cars to the larger family cruisers. It is a professional and dignified tone that avoids the flashy brightness of a racing blue in favor of something more sophisticated. Since your Peugeot has been navigating the world for over a decade, the finish has likely matured, but this color is known for retaining its rich character even after years of exposure to the elements.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish, which means it contains tiny reflective flakes that give the paint its depth and shimmer. These flakes are your best friend for a factory look, but they can be temperamental if you apply the paint too thick. Heavy applications cause the flakes to sink and "mottle," creating dark or cloudy spots that look like shadows on the surface. To keep the finish uniform, you must apply thin layers so the metallic particles can distribute themselves evenly across the repair area.

Best Practices

You can find your paint code on the silver sticker located on the driver's side door pillar. Before you spray or dab Peugeot Medium Blue (check for code KGW), you need to shake the container vigorously for at least two minutes to ensure the metallic flakes are fully suspended. Always test the color on the included card before you touch the car to verify the shade. When you begin the repair, keep the container moving at all times to maintain a steady flow. Allow plenty of drying time between layers to prevent the paint from sagging or clumping.
