2021 Peugeot Touch Up Paint (3 OEM Colors)

The 2021 Peugeot Vibe

2021 was the year Peugeot decided every car in the lineup-from the scrappy 208 to the sleek 508-needed to look like a neon-lit cyberpunk lion. It was all about sharp "fang" LEDs and aggressive styling that made even a grocery run feel like a scene from a sci-fi flick. In our database, we've focused on the survivors of this high-tech era: the deep, classic Blue China, the head-turning Bright Red Tricoat, and the ever-reliable Medium Blue. These were the colors that actually had enough soul to survive the transition into the digital age.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the peak of the Thin Paint Era. Back in my day, we sprayed lacquer until the panels looked like they were dipped in honey, but by 2021, "Robot Efficiency" became the law of the land. These Peugeots left the factory with finishes measured in microns, not millimeters. While it looks like a mirror when it's new, the reality is that the clear coat is notoriously stingy, especially around the roof rails and door shuts. If you're seeing tiny "rust bubbles" on the hatch or clear coat that seems to be lifting near the seals, don't be surprised-it's just the robots being a little too precise for their own good.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2021 model, you've got to mimic that factory precision. Build your layers slowly; don't blob it. If you're working with the Bright Red Tricoat, you're dealing with a sophisticated multi-stage finish that demands patience. Apply a thin coat, let it flash off, and repeat. If you try to fill a chip in one heavy go, you'll end up with a dark, raised mountain of paint that looks like a blemish. Treat it like a fine glaze rather than a bucket of spackle, and you might just trick the next guy into thinking it's original factory work.
