COLOR CODETENNK - BeigeRenault Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Renault carries a shade that belongs to a very specific moment in time. This color was a brief but sophisticated choice across the entire lineup for the 2009 model year, offering a refined alternative to the more common silvers of that era. It is a hardworking neutral that does an excellent job of masking road dust and light grime, making it one of the most practical choices for a daily driver. Because your car has likely been on the road for well over a decade, you will find that this tone blends remarkably well with the natural aging of the clear coat, helping your repairs disappear into the original finish.

Technical Details

This is not a simple flat color. It features a metallic pearl finish, which means the paint is filled with tiny reflective particles that give the surface its characteristic depth. These flakes are heavier than the paint itself and tend to sink to the bottom of the container while it sits on your shelf. If you apply the paint without thoroughly mixing it, you risk creating a finish that looks blotchy or uneven. When the light hits those clustered flakes, they can create dark spots known as mottling, so your goal is to keep those particles evenly distributed as you work.

Best Practices

You can find your paint information on the sticker located inside the door frame, usually on the driver or passenger side pillar. Before you spray or dab Renault Beige (check for code TENNK), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. This ensures the metallic particles are fully suspended so the color matches the rest of your car. Always test the color on the included card to verify the tone before touching the actual bodywork. To keep the finish even, keep the container moving across the surface and avoid letting the paint pool in one spot. Work in your garage or a patch of shade to ensure the surface stays cool, and allow plenty of drying time between each thin layer.
