Liquid Blue Metallic – B40 Color and Visual Aspect

For body and paint shops, as well as individual users, this means:

• easier achievement of a visually consistent effect across the entire door surface,
• reduced risk of shade differences when blending with adjacent panels,
• a more predictable process for preparation and potential paint blending.

• factory mounting points, simplifying installation in place of a damaged part,
• maintaining the correct position of the handle relative to door seals and creases,
• compatibility with the original door opening and closing mechanism.
