1991 Citroen Touch Up Paint (1 OEM Colors)

The 1991 Citroen Vibe

1991 was the year Citroen decided to look like it was arriving from the future while everyone else was still stuck in the 80s. The flagship XM was cutting through the air like a wedge of sharp Brie, and the BX was still holding down the fort as the angular king of the French motorway. In our database, Blanc stands as the definitive survivor. In the early 90s, white wasn't just a "fleet" choice; it was a crisp, modernist statement that made these hydraulic spaceships look like they belonged on a launchpad rather than a driveway.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to The Peeling Era. By 1991, Citroen had fully embraced the basecoat-and-clearcoat system. It looked deep and glossy in the showroom, but these early clear coats have a nasty habit of "delaminating" once they hit their third decade. If your Citroen has been sitting in the sun, you've likely seen it: the clear coat starts looking like sunburned skin, peeling away in brittle sheets to leave a dull, chalky basecoat exposed. Once that bond is broken, the clock starts ticking on your bodywork.

Restoration Tip

If you're lucky enough to have original paint that hasn't started the "great peel" yet, your job is to seal every chip immediately. On these 1991 finishes, a stone chip isn't just an eyesore-it's an entry point for moisture to get under the clear coat and start the delamination process. Don't wait for the weekend. Dab some paint into those pockmarks to bridge the gap and keep the clear coat anchored to the car. Once the clear starts to lift at the edges, you're looking at a full respray, so catch it while it's small.
