2001 Opel Touch Up Paint (2 OEM Colors)

The 2001 Opel Vibe

Welcome to 2001-the year your Astra G or Corsa C was the sharpest thing on the block and "It Wasn't Me" was blasting through the factory speakers. This was the peak of the metallic revolution, an era where every European parking lot looked like a sea of shimmering, high-tech metals. While other brands were busy making "Lego-set" colors, we've focused our database on the true survivors of the era, like Panacotta and Switch. These shades defined the transition into the new millennium: subtle, sophisticated, and undeniably metallic.

Paint Health Check

But here's the salty truth from the paint booth: we are living in the heart of The Peeling Era. By 2001, Opel had fully committed to the basecoat-and-clearcoat system. It gave these cars a deep, glossy finish that looked like a million bucks on the showroom floor, but two decades of UV exposure have not been kind. If the roof or hood of your Opel looks like it's suffering from a peeling sunburn, you're looking at clear coat delamination. Once the bond between that clear top layer and the color underneath fails, the clock starts ticking.

Restoration Tip

If you're lucky enough to still have a solid finish, you need to be proactive. Seal every stone chip immediately. On these 2001-era finishes, a tiny chip isn't just a cosmetic blemish; it's a breach in the armor. Once air and moisture get under the edge of the clear coat, the peeling will spread across the panel like a virus. Use a precision touch-up to "lock down" the edges of any fresh chips before the clear starts to lift. Catch it early, and you'll keep that factory shine; ignore it, and you'll be sanding the whole panel by next summer.
