1994 Citroen Touch Up Paint (1 OEM Colors)

The 1994 Citroen Vibe

Welcome to 1994, the year Citroen was busy making sure the Xantia could corner flatter than a crepe while the futuristic XM looked like something parked outside a space station. It was a decade of bold experiments in "sensible chic." While the rest of the world was drowning in teal and "Jewish Racing Gold," Citroen kept its cool with classics like Blanc Banquise. We've focused on the survivors like this staple white-it was the quintessential French canvas, designed to look just as good parked outside a boulangerie as it did cruising the autoroute.

Paint Health Check

If you're driving a '94, you're smack in the middle of The Peeling Era. This was when the industry was fully embracing the two-stage system, but the chemistry hadn't quite figured out how to keep the clear coat from quitting its job. On these French beauties, the clear coat often develops what we call "French Sunburn"-it starts as a tiny silver bubble and ends with the clear shedding off the base coat like a lizard in the Sahara. Once that UV damage hits the bond between the layers, your hood and roof are on a one-way trip to Delamination City.

Restoration Tip

The secret to keeping a 1994 Citroen looking "concours" rather than "junkyard" is to seal your chips immediately. In this era, a stone chip isn't just a cosmetic flaw; it's an entry point for air and moisture to get under the clear coat and start lifting it. If you see a nick, don't wait. Clean it, dab it with a precision touch-up, and lock those edges down. Think of it as a tactical seal-if you stop the air from getting under the clear, you stop the peel from spreading across the entire panel.
