Colour of VT* Kit

[pubert]

sorry, didnt know if this should go here or in the interior and styling, so please move if in the wrong place

just wondered that if i bought a VT* kit for my silver 1.1 would it be the same colour silver?

just that i've heard a few people mention that it is a different shade?

if its different how different is it? and would you need to get it re-sprayed?

cheers

As far as I'm aware the only silver you get is Quartz silver, could be wrong though.

If it's a different shade you could always just pass it off as a 2-tone paintjob :P

there is 2 different silvers.

to get all technical on your ass there are lots of variants of all the colours. Citroen will get the colours and mix them up to create a particular colour then apply it to the car. however when it comes to producing a the same colour in all likelihood the match wont be exact. hence to get similar but different shades.

so if i get a silver VT kit it wont look TOO different?? and wouldnt need sprayed etc?

there is 2 different types of silver but each of the 2 silvers has different shades. though i think only MK1 had the other silver, it seems all MK2 have the quartz silver so you should be ok :p

The other color silver is called ARTIC STEEL i think. Mk2's are all quartz silver

there are 9 different shades of the Citroen silver. the paint code for Quartz silver is EYCC**, if you get the body kit from a car that is a very similar year then the chances are that it will be the same shade of silver.
however, if you get it from a newer saxo then the colour might not be spot on then you will need to get it re-sprayed for it to be 100% then if it is a sprayer/bodyshop that knows that they are doing then they will blend the colour of the vt* kit into the rest of the car. this will hopefully not be needed as its near enough a full respray.

hope that helps
