Renault White (QNG) Touch Up Paint

The Look

This isn't a color that tries to reinvent the wheel, but it is the backbone of the 2015 lineup. Whether you are driving a nimble Clio or a workhorse Master van, this shade provides a clean, clinical appearance that feels modern and professional. Because it was used across almost all models that year, you are dealing with a very common, honest white. It looks excellent when you pull it out of a wash, but it is a magnet for road tar and grime. Since your car has likely been on the road for several years, you might notice the original finish has softened slightly compared to a fresh coat, so a good cleaning is your first priority.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is a relief for anyone working in a garage or under the shade. Unlike metallic or pearl paints that require you to worry about how the flakes land, this solid pigment is much more forgiving. You won't have to deal with dark mottling or uneven stripes. However, solid whites are notorious for showing "edge" if you apply the paint too thick in one spot. The risk here isn't the color match; it is the build-up. If you go too heavy with the brush or nozzle, you will see a visible ridge where the new paint meets the old.

Best Practices

Your paint code sticker is usually found on the driver or passenger side door pillar. It often appears as a three-character sequence, sometimes preceded by letters like OV or TE. Before you spray or dab Renault White (check for code QNG), you need to shake the container vigorously for at least sixty seconds to ensure the white pigments are fully mixed. Test the color on the included card and let it dry to confirm the match against your panel. To keep the finish level, keep the container moving at all times during application. Working in thin layers will prevent the paint from sagging and ensure the drying time remains consistent.
