   Ive had two different paint names from the code on my saxo, EZR.
   
   One place says its Aluminium Grey, one says its Artic Steel.
   
   Some baghead has nicked the codes book from my local Halfords, has anyone got a definitive colour for this code?

   Nice one, i googled it and went on Citroens official website (in french allbeit) and it came up as 'Aluminium Gris'.
   
   Just got some Artic Steel rattle cans and they look a bit dark.

   you can NOT match this colour using halfrauds cans
   
   it's hard enough for a decent sprayer using proper paint

   Yeah i know that but it should be at least close.. The cans i got are about three shades darker.
   
   Might try using white undercoat to brighten it up. Im not blending here - just painting some trim so it doesnt have to be insanely cock-on.
