AC-623 - Sevilla Blue Citroen Touch Up Paint

The Look

This color is a slice of French history, arriving just as the 1960s were coming to a close. While it was available for all models, it is most famous for draping the elegant curves of the DS and ID. It is a deep, saturated blue that feels more like a uniform than a fashion statement-reliable, bold, and timeless. Since your Citroen has likely been on the road for over fifty years, this blue has likely developed a soft patina that gives the car a sense of weight and importance. It has a way of making the chrome trim pop without the need for a modern metallic sparkle.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, which is a blessing for anyone using a touch-up tool. Unlike metallic paints that require you to worry about how the flakes are standing up, this blue relies on pure, dense pigment. The main risk here is thickness; if you apply too much at once, the paint can puddle or create a noticeable ridge that catches the light. Because there is no flake to distract the eye, any texture issues will be easy to spot. Your goal is a smooth, level surface that mimics the original factory pour.

Best Practices

You can find the identity of your paint on a small, circular aluminum plate riveted to the firewall inside the engine bay. Before you spray or dab Citroen Sevilla Blue (check for code AC-623), you need to shake it for 60 seconds to ensure the heavy blue pigments are fully mixed. Test the color on the included card to see how it looks once it is dry. When applying, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from building up in one spot or causing a run. Give each thin layer plenty of drying time in a covered garage or a patch of shade to ensure the final finish is hard and durable.
