Here's a pretty indepth list of the colours/codes from Renault including Alloy wheel colours. Hope this helps somebody. Trying to give a bit back for all the help i've received from the good people on this site.:d

This diagram (albeit a bit out of date for the newest models) still will show where your paint code is located on the 'b' pillar of your driver's door.
If you care to provide the code, I can confirm the colour name to prevent you ordering the wrong colour.
i am still trying to getting to grips with this site, anyway in reply to my last thread . my paint code is nv632, could anyone tell me my paint name please
I've merged your threads into the main 'Paint Code' section,I'm sure Paul will be along very shortly to tell you the exact details on your particular colour.
That is the official name, but having a cursory look on an certain auction site, I found it called RENAULT PLATINUM MET. AEROSOL SPRAY PAINT 632 HOLTS; RENAULT 632 GREY BOREAL
I can understand the confusion.
When in doubt, always use the paint code, rather than the name, as they are sometimes listed in the language of the country of origin, and get 'lost' in translation.
well since you asked... tiis a few stone chips on the front bumper (colour coded). there are little dimples where the paint has come off, will i need to fill the dimples before i paint ?. freddy
You will struggle to apply filler into these small areas (most likely you'll end up with air bubbles trapped under a thin coating of filler).
If you are using an aerosol paint, spray some into the lid, then apply droplets using an opened-up paper clip. Build up the layers until its level.
Leave for a few hours and use the same method for the clear lacquer, after a week of warm dry weather, give the area a light polish up (no T-cut or anything abrasive) and it'll look just fine to the casual onlooker.
If its a touch-up paint, you will need to dilute the paint with a touch of thinners.
I have TED44, so that means I have TE clear coat / lacquer and D44 Odyssey blue,
How would I go about achieving a similar looking lacquer as the "TE" or could I just buy any random brand and it will look fine?
The shade of a basecoat can be influenced by the colour of the primer underneath, this can either make the basecoat appear lighter or darker than intended.
It is then said that the primer has a 'value', and is referred to as a 'value shade'.
There is a range of primers from VS 1 (white), through VS 4 (grey) to VS 7 (black).
Believe me, using the wrong colour primer will increase the likelihood of a mismatch, or require you to use many more coats to try to achieve a colour match.
