2015 Renault Touch Up Paint (5 OEM Colors)

The 2015 Renault Vibe

By 2015, Renault was on a mission to prove that "sensible French hatchback" didn't have to mean "invisible." Whether you were carving corners in a Clio RS or dodging trolleys in a Captur, the brand was leaning hard into high-impact visuals. Since most of the world was buying silver and gray back then, we've focused our database on the survivors that actually had a pulse-the head-turners like Liquid Yellow Tricoat and Corsica Orange. It was an era where Renault finally decided that if you're going to be stuck in traffic, you might as well look like a piece of high-velocity citrus.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to The Thin Paint Era. By 2015, the factory robots had been programmed for "maximum efficiency," which is just a polite industry term for "stretching a gallon of paint across an entire fleet." While the finish looked like glass in the showroom, these coats are remarkably lean. The biggest threat to a 2015 Renault isn't just the sun; it's the microscopic thickness of the clear coat. You'll often see the edges of the bumpers and wheel arches starting to show "robot fatigue"-where the clear coat begins to lift because there just wasn't enough material to grip the curves. Combine that with a hood that acts as a magnet for stone chips, and you've got a recipe for premature aging if you aren't careful.

Restoration Tip

When you're tackling a repair on these modern finishes, remember the Golden Rule of the Thin Paint Era: build layers slowly; don't blob it. Because the factory finish is so lean, a giant drop of touch-up paint will stick out like a sore thumb. If you're filling a chip in that Liquid Yellow or Light Blue, use several paper-thin passes rather than one heavy glob. You want to mimic that robotic precision. Most importantly, if you see the clear coat starting to peel or "bridge" near the headlights or trim, seal it immediately. Once the air gets under that thin factory clear, it'll peel back faster than a cheap sunburn.
