2017 Renault Touch Up Paint (6 OEM Colors)

The 2017 Renault Vibe

By 2017, Renault was officially the rebel of the European parking lot. While every other manufacturer was drowning in a sea of grayscale, the French were busy spraying the world in Corsica Orange and the legendary Liquid Yellow Tricoat. Whether you were rocking a Clio, a Captur, or a Megane, these cars weren't just transport; they were rolling fashion statements. We've curated the six essential survivors of that year's palette-from the deep, shimmering Rouge Flame to the crisp White Tricoat-capturing that moment when Renault decided that "loud" was the only volume that mattered.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the peak of the Thin Paint Era. By 2017, the factory robots had "efficiency" down to a science, which is painter-speak for being stingy with the clear coat. These finishes are stunning, but they're as delicate as a croissant. Because the layers are applied with such surgical precision, they lack the "meat" of older paint jobs. This means a single stone chip on the motorway isn't just a mark; it's a breach in the hull. On models with the Rouge Flame or Liquid Yellow, that clear coat is often stretched thin over the curves, making the edges of the hood and doors prime territory for micro-chipping and premature wear.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2017 finish, throw out the "more is better" rulebook. Since the factory coat is so thin, a giant blob of touch-up paint will stick out like a sore thumb. Build your layers slowly. For those complex Tricoats and high-pigment shades like Corsica Orange, use a steady hand and multiple whisper-thin applications rather than one heavy glob. Let each layer flash off properly so it settles flat. If you take your time and don't try to fill the chip in one shot, you'll get a repair that levels out beautifully without having to sand back half the panel.
