2019 Peugeot Touch Up Paint (3 OEM Colors)

The 2019 Peugeot Vibe

By 2019, Peugeot was busy trying to convince everyone they were a "premium" brand, launching the sleek 508 and the sharp new 208. It was a year of bold styling and even bolder colors. While the rest of the world was stuck in a grayscale nightmare of silver and charcoal, Peugeot was leaning into depth. We've focused our collection on the survivors of this era-the heavy hitters like Blue China, the complex Bright Red Tricoat, and that classic Medium Blue. These weren't just colors; they were statements designed to look expensive under the streetlights of Paris (or your local supermarket parking lot).

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the "Thin Paint Era." By 2019, those factory robots had become so efficient they could stretch a thimble of paint across an entire hood. It's a marvel of engineering, but it means your clear coat has about as much structural integrity as a soap bubble. If you're driving a 3008 or a 508 from this year, you've likely noticed "road rash"-tiny white peppering on the nose where pebbles have punched right through to the primer. Because the layers are so thin, once a chip starts, the surrounding clear coat likes to lose its grip and start flaking away like a bad sunburn.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2019 finish, you have to fight your instinct to fill the hole in one go. If you "blob" it, the repair will sit high and look like a zit on the finish because the factory paint is so flat and thin. Instead, build your layers slowly. Use a toothpick or a very fine brush to dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it shrink down. Especially with that Bright Red Tricoat, it's all about the depth, not the volume. Three thin coats will always look better than one thick mess that refuses to level out.
