Is anybody able to confirm I’ve got it correct that this would be the paint colour code for my 406 Coupe? IMG_1559098945.977684.jpg

How did you go with the paint code? My 406 Coupe code isn't coming up on any of the paint databases so can't get a paint match!

JoshD,

Your picture is very low res, but appears to be MEVW, which would be Satellite Grey (EVW) or Gris Thallium in French markets.

Not sure if the M relates to the paint type, but I think Peugeot used it to denote Metallic or Pearlescent paint types.

This was about the time (circa 1997) that Peugeot went to a different system where the first 3 digits was the colour and the last digit was the paint type.

For instance, EVWC: EVW (Satellite Grey) and where the C denotes "varnished metallic paint".

Great, thanks for the reply. So going by that, the stamped MEVW is for EVW Satellite Grey. I'll see if I have any success sourcing some paint now.
