Warwick Duo Paint Code

Trying to get a touch up spray for my Warwick. Under bonnet code is 453 but I can't find any reference to that number.
I can find the colour "Bleu Lago Azzurro Met" Does anyone know if this is the right colour?

Scroll through to near the end of the thread in the link below. I think I saw mention of it.

Being nosey, but what do you wish to paint once you get the correct one?
Reason I ask is that your van is now 9 yrs old so the colour will have faded and whatever you buy will not be a perfect match.

If something trivial, no probs but if visible, I'd go to a local body shop, they will photograph your paint and mix accordingly, when sprayed it'll be invisible

Just a thought....

I took this photo last week:

I went to the local car paint shop, showed him the photo on my phone, ten minutes later it was mixed and paid for and  I was on my way home £8 quid lighter.

It's definitely the right colour, it's identical to mine.

Are you trying to find it online?

I want to spray the fridge vent covers. The ones that came with the 'van are white!

Thanks Rog and Tim it seems that I,'ve got the right code after all.

Best of luck, took a paint shop near us 3 goes to match the paint, even now it is not quite right and they are highly recommended, used photo, Peugeot paint codes.


They blamed it on a very thin coat done in the factory, well they said it is a commercial parcel van!

100%agree with that Ray!
Did same on my Warwick too.
Cant believe such a good looking van can have white covers?
Worst I saw was white on a red van!

All I can say Richard is that my local body shop have given me 100% perfect results every time ive used them. Totally invisible every time.

JARC in North Walsham if you need them!

So there must be loads of you guys running around with white fridge vents!l

Thanks Ian, sure wont be going back to them again, although they get rave reviews. I can see orange peel and after 3 years I try and not notice the match. They had to blend in the whole side of the van, wish I had left the small scratch on the sliding door now. The paint now sit's higher than the graphics, if you see what I mean and the paint is darker

Hope you new van is coming along ok.

My fridge vents are the same shade of grey as all the other external plastics 

Did it come like that?

Hi Roger. I assume your van is not grey, but the decals are and the vent matches that, as indees does mine. I am talking about the extra covers to be used when the temperature drops. I suppose the best idea would be to paint these the same colour as the original vents. ie:grey!

Yes, I'm talking about the same vent covers 

Poor quality photo, but you'll see what I mean:

Yeah, I see what you mean. So it looks like grey is the colour of the day!

Found the pics of what I did to our Warwick.
The pics are not great, the actual colour of the vents etc was much closer to that of the van.
4 processes
1 serious wash in warm water and equally serious drying
2 one or 2 coats plastic primer
3 one or as many as it needs coat of the colour
4 one or two coats clearcoat.

Also did the EHU, water filler, tv panel and gas filler, other side bbq panel

Very Nice Ian! What made you sell it?

My vents are white and my winter covers are white, doesn't matter - my van is white !

No worries then Paul!

Lack of poss use due covid, only interested in motorhoming abroad.
As an engineer, it hurts me to see things not used, nothing is worse for them so I sold it back to the dealer I bought it from

Go to the monocoques section and you see a tome the size of War and Peace of my new one and what I'm doing to it!!
