  2. According to some data I downloaded from a web site that has now become
    defunct, that is your paint code. The C means that it is varnished
    metallic and the EGR means Provence Blue.

    Our 306 has CEGR in the engine compartment, and is the same colour as
    yours. No idea about the boot plate.

  6. This is from the document I downloaded from the now defunct web site, I have
    extracted the codes that refer to the 306. There are also later codes but
    nothing that begins with M:

    This bit refers to the first letter:

    A - Opaque unvarnished
    B - varnished non-metallic
    C - varnished metallic
    D - pearlescent lacquered


    This refers to the following three letters:

    Platinum Silver EYC
    Cossack Grey ETH
    Blaze Yellow EDX
    Tuscany Green KRU
    tie break green KSJ
    Anthracite EXC
    Venetian Green EQU
    Provence Blue EGR
    Nile Blue EGQ
    Pharaoh Gold EDU
    Sherwood Green KRF
    Astor Grey EYJ
    Moonstone EYL

    Nom Guest

    Is it just me, or is that page full of nonsense ?

    My 406 Coupe is a 2001 car. It's Polaris Blue, and the Paint Code is MOGT. I
    know this to be true, because I watched my local dealer look it up on the
    Peugeot system (via my chassis number) when I needed a touch up pen.

    Neither Polaris Blue, nor MOGT, are anywhere on either of those two pages :)

    It also says :

    The paint code is a 4-letter code.
    Example: Ardent Red EWPA--. The 4th is the paint type.
    A - Opaque unvarnished
    B - varnished non-metallic
    C - varnished metallic
    D - pearlescent lacquered

    Clearly something is wrong with that statement, because the 4th letter of my
    code is a T :)

    Hi Nom !

    It's been a long time not seen :)
    I
    Am I out of date, I always thought that codes starting with M were standing
    for Metallic paints ?

    It is Metallic. Or Perleascent - I don't know what the difference is :) But it's
    not a "flat" colour, if you see what I mean !
    It changes slightly from blue to a bit of turquoise, if you get the light at the
    right angle, so I think it probably is Perleascent ?
