in halfords thay have two whites arctic white which is a bright white like on my CTI and i think the other is called polar white which is an off white.

 

if your car is really white ie bright try the arctic if its a dullish white then its the other you cant tell by the caps but when ya use em you can see.

Mines a K plate but my engine bay has been resprayed at some point so i havent got the code either. Im sure paintguy should know.

 

The white on my K is almost a creamy white compared to the almost flat white of other pugs ive seen.

The paint code is p0wt, but there a few vairations of it!

 

Artic white and polar white its one or the other, i dont know why they just dont make 1 code for 1 colour, then again thats peugeot for ya! LOL

The code is POWT. The actual colour is called Blanche Meije. There is about a million varients! I had mine colour matched at a bodyshop and ordered two and a half litres for the respray.

Peugeot have used 57 different shades of white up until about a year ago. Probably gone up since.

A colour match is all good n well till some of your car fades to a different shades on different panels :)

Spoke to Pug this morning and they said they have never done a white called Blanche Meije. They say that its def Alpine white Code P0WT just faded!

 

Any way i can find the true colour of the car? pug themselves?? How much does it cost to have your paint matched?

Alpine white will be the colour taken from a brochure or something. The correct colour name for POWT is Blanche Meije. To have the paint matched, you will have to go to a bodyshop. Depending how good the bodyshop is, they may need to call out the paint supplier to bring the tool to match the paint. The tool analyzes the colour and creates a paint mixture that will match the colour exactly. This colour may not be a Pug colour. It depends on the closest match for your car.

 

Hope this helps :D
