2005 Renault Touch Up Paint (6 OEM Colors)

The 2005 Renault Vibe

2005 was the year Renault decided to get weird with the styling-remember the Megane with that famous "shaking that ass" ad campaign? While the body shapes were cutting-edge, the color palette stayed strictly "sophisticated European." We're talking about the height of the silver revolution. If it wasn't a silver Clio, it was likely a beige Scenic. Our collection focuses on the heavy-hitting survivors of this era, like Gris Silver Ultra and Light Beige. These weren't just colors; they were the uniform of the mid-2000s suburban sprawl.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the peak of The Peeling Era. By 2005, the industry had moved fully into multi-stage systems, but the "bond" between the color and the clear coat wasn't always a happy marriage. On a Renault from this year, you're likely dealing with delamination-that's when the clear coat starts looking like a bad sunburn and peels off in sheets. If your roof or bonnet looks like it's shedding skin, the UV rays have officially won. The base layer underneath is usually tough, but once that clear shell fails, the color starts to oxidize and turn chalky faster than you can say "C'est la vie."

Restoration Tip

Listen close: with 2005-era paint, moisture is the enemy of the clear coat. If you see a stone chip, do not "wait until the weekend" to fix it. On these Renaults, a tiny chip is an invitation for water to crawl under the clear coat and start lifting it from the base. Seal chips immediately with a high-quality solvent-based touch-up to lock the edges down. If you're repairing a larger area, don't just spray and pray; you need to feather the edges of the original clear coat back until you hit "stable" territory, or your new work will just peel right off with the old stuff.
