COLOR CODEAC-624 - Angora BlueCitroen Touch-Up Paint

The Look

This color is the soul of mid-century French design. Since your Citroen has been on the road for decades, you know this pale, cool blue isn't just a color; it is a statement of style that defined the DS and ID series. It is a soft shade that feels light, matching the fluid lines of a classic 2CV or H Van. It captures the optimism of the 1960s and keeps your car looking like a piece of rolling architecture rather than just a machine.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish. There are no metallic flakes or pearls to manage. Solid colors are simple to apply because you do not have to worry about flake orientation or uneven stripes. However, pale blues like this show their age through fading. Because your car has lived under the sky, the original paint might have lightened in the sun. Your new paint will have a rich, fresh tone that might look deeper than the weathered sections of your bodywork, so focus on blending your edges into the original panels.

Best Practices

On a vintage Citroen, you find the paint code stamped onto a small circular aluminum disc on the bulkhead or firewall inside the engine bay. Before you spray or dab Citroen Angora Blue (check for code AC-624), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the pigments mix for a match. Test the color on the included card to check the shade against your panels. When you apply it, keep the container moving to prevent drips. Give the paint time to rest in the shade during the drying time between thin layers to build a tough finish.
