2017 Peugeot Touch Up Paint (5 OEM Colors)

The 2017 Peugeot Vibe

By 2017, Peugeot wasn't just making cars; they were making "European Car of the Year" winners like the 3008 SUV. It was an era of sharp lines and bold statements, where the French finally leaned into colors that actually popped in the parking lot. We've focused our collection on the heavy hitters of that year-the survivors that defined the roads. You've got the deep, sophisticated Blue China and the head-turning Bright Red Tricoat. But the real star of the show? That Emeraude Bleu. It looked like a gemstone under the dealership lights, and it's still one of the most requested shades for anyone trying to keep that 2017 aesthetic alive.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the "Thin Paint Era." By 2017, the factory robots had become masters of efficiency-which is a polite way of saying they got real stingy with the clear coat. While these finishes look like glass when they're new, they don't have the "meat" on them that the old-school lacquer jobs did. The biggest threat to your 2017 Peugeot is "Robot Efficiency." Because the layers are so lean, a single stone chip on the motorway isn't just a blemish; it's an invitation for the clear coat to start lifting. If you've noticed the paint on your bumper or the edge of your hood looking a bit "flaky," that's the thin clear coat losing its grip.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up these modern finishes, you have to fight the urge to be a hero with a heavy hand. Because the factory paint is so thin, a giant blob of touch-up paint will stick out like a sore thumb. Build your layers slowly; don't blob it. Apply a thin coat, let it flash off, and repeat until you're level with the surrounding surface. It takes more patience, but it's the only way to match that sleek, robotic precision without making your 208 look like it's got a case of the chickenpox.
