Goodevening!
, im going to give colour coding my bumpers a go myself :S
My saxo is Icelandic Grey. I have heard that halfords moonstone blue peugeot is exactly the same. Is this true as obviously if i am going to colour-code them it needs to be an exact match..
Any help would be great thanks! D

Pred do you reckon the side panels on the saxo would be easy to paint? Just mask up around them and then go for it?? Sorry to hijack the thread mate. Oh and I have had my front and back bumpers colour coded and it looks sooo much better!

Sorry to invade this thread but I need paint for the Gunmetal Grey part of my car LOL.

A tiny bit needs touching up. Would Halfords supply this too?

As said above by Pred, don't go to Halfords, their colour match is crap, either go to the website he has given above or go your local bodyshop and get some from them

your going to need to take all the silicone off the trims before paint mate and makes sure you rub them down before and inbetween each coat.

afew people have done it on here them selfs, try searching before you do it so you have more of an idea of what to do

Look on your drivers side door on the inside near the hinge, it will give you 2 colour codes.
