    Im trying to source where to get proper icelandic grey paint from citroen itself, only place i can think is the dealers and its kinda hard trying to get there from mine without a car

    Im doing a job at the moment on a Astra VXR which is a "moonland metalic" colour and im using the paint from the dealers (wasnt cheap, nor was their laquer!!) and im very pleased how good it is, and i might aswell fork out and get the correct colour from citroen, but theres no part number for it and they are closed! so its become a bit of a battle lol

    Is there any other place that i can buy proper citroen factory paint online??

    Is there any chance you could get a primer? or do citroen not do that?

    as im POSITIVE, it is a blue primer that goes underneath icelandic grey - could be wrong...

    Take it you work at citroen yeah?

    Pug mate but we do Citroen aswell

    Just use a grey primer...thats what I use. And the paint comes with a lacquer aswell so its all good You can get the primer from a local paint shop/supplier as PUG/Citroen don't supply it. We use BCN or bodyshop supplies near us. There paint matches are actually quite good aswel tbf, used them a few times in emergencies

    Ah i see, so the laquer is allready mixxed into the aerosol?

    What size are the cans (if you know?) 150ml, 300ml? just so i know how many im going to need lol

    No mate. You get 2 150ml cans. 1 paint and 1 lacquer.

    The bodyshop supplies stuff iirc is 400ml mixed cans but I don't know if they would send out to you.

    If you roll in and find it's a fattish dude he's a bell toucher like. Not a very helpful chap at all really. If it's the stealer near tullos/torry.
