Renault Paint Codes - 60s, 70s and '80s
This page is just an intial guide to what colours the paint codes refer to. The images do not accurately represent the paint colours. That's why I'm replacing the swatches with photos of real cars. If you can help with a photo of your Renault (doesn't need to be a Renault 4) please email I've referenced the guide at http://www.ingo-heitel.de/lackierungen.htm. Colours described in bold are either mentioned as R4 colours in that guide, or have been found to be Renault 4 colours. Colours not in bold were used on other classic Renaults, but possibly not the R4. R4-4L has given me permission to link to their gallery of teintes (colours). |
