2011 Peugeot Touch Up Paint (3 OEM Colors)

The 2011 Peugeot Vibe

2011 was a year of French ambition. Peugeot was busy trying to prove they could do "premium" with the sleek RCZ sports coupe and the dignified 508. The roads were a sea of sophisticated metallics, and we've made sure the essentials survived in our vault. Whether you're looking at the moody, industrial Gris Thorium or the deep, iconic Blue China, these colors were designed to look expensive under the streetlights of Paris-even if your Peugeot spent most of its life in a grocery store parking lot.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the Thin Paint Era. By 2011, the factory robots had become absolute masters of "efficiency," which is just a polite way of saying they sprayed the bare minimum required to make the car look shiny on the showroom floor. Because these coats are so thin, they don't handle the "real world" with much grace. If you own one of these today, you've likely noticed that a single stone chip doesn't just leave a mark-it shatters the clear coat's spirit. Once the seal is broken, these 2011 finishes are notorious for delamination (the dreaded "lacquer peel"), especially on the plastic bumpers and roof edges where the sun does its worst work.

Restoration Tip

When you're fixing a 2011 finish, you have to respect the "Robot Logic." These paints were applied thin and flat, so the biggest mistake you can make is trying to fill a chip in one heavy go. Build your layers slowly; don't blob it. If you dump a giant bead of paint into a chip, it'll never level out right and you'll end up with a high spot that looks like a zit. Apply a thin layer, let it flash off, and repeat until you're level with the factory clear. Patience is the only way to match that lean, factory-sprayed look.
