   For primer use Halfords plasic filler primer sand using 1200 wet and dry(wet)use 3-4 coats of the primer sanding between coats,then 3-4 top coats again sanding between coats.Finally 2-3 coats of clear lacquer.Buy the paint direct from Citroen then you know its the right colour match.

   The paint code on mine is inside the drivers door on the bottom of the A pillar.
   
   It'll defo be a whole lot cheaper if you do it yourself mate. The final finish will depend on how well you've done the prep work so just take your time and be patient.

   there both exactly the same colour, the code is EYLC

   3 coats on top of a grey primer is about the right amount to get the correct colour match ive found, dont sand between coats with it being a mettallic paint
