Read moreFollowing a small accident, your Iveco vehicle has a few scratches that you need to repair. Don't worry, it's perfectly doable without calling a professional. In this article, we will explain to you all the main lines of how Iveco paints work and all about the color codes of other European cars ; in this case, the color codes of Iveco cars. The Iveco brand mainly produces utility vehicles, which leads to some notable differences between the Iveco color code paintwork and that of other brands of classic passenger vehicles.
While the body paints of modern passenger cars are largely comprised of metallic and pearlescent tints, this is not the case in the commercial vehicle world.
Vans and vans have in 50% of cases very simple colors, without metallic particles, which are called opaque colors. What is an opaque color ? It is a flat color composed only of color pigments and does not contain pearl or aluminum pigments. For utility vehicles, there are so many white colors in the manufacturer's wide color charts.
It is true that in recent years, there have been some metallic paint options on utility vehicles.
In conclusion, and to simplify, remember this. This will allow you to choose your product :
If your paint is metallic, then you will have to go to the product page "two-coat base paint"
If your paint is opaque, then it you will have to go to the "2C direct gloss lacquer" product page.
For both versions of paints, there is an application mode.
We will explain this right after explaining the command mode :
Ordering the paint is very easy : just choose the quantity of paint. Your color reference must be sent by email, after placing the order.
You can also see during the order process, in the basket page, a small text field where you can enter the code.
We explain in the following paragraphs where you can find the references of your Iveco manufacturer's paint.
To summarize the terms on versions of metallic paints or opaque paints, here is a short summary:
For a simple Iveco color code (pure white example) :
We're going to use a paint and no varnish, because it's a glossy lacquer type paint with a hardener, which acts as both paint and clearcoat. This colored lacquer, according to the Iveco color code, is always applied in two coats: these are two very shiny coats, applied with a time interval of 10 minutes. Thorough drying takes 24 hours.
For a pearl or metallic Iveco color code (example aluminum grey) :
We will carry out the paint or touch-up work in two stages :
- The paint, which we will apply by a few thin and repeated coats.
- Then, we go directly to the next step, quickly, that is to say within 30 minutes, by applying two coats of gloss clearcoat.
No, it is not possible to obtain a direct gloss metallic paint for an IVECO color code.
Iveco is an industrial group specializing in automobile manufacturing, and its acronym stands for Industrial Vehicle Corporation. It is the result of the common will of three German, French and Italian manufacturers, who founded the brand in 1975.
During its existence, of only 45 years, did you know that the Iveco brand has designed nearly 200 different models utility vehicles.
This is the core business of the brand, which designs, designs and produces commercial vehicles.
Iveco has produced a turbo diesel engine which has been very successful, particularly with its 4 x 4 model made famous by Commander Cousteau's expeditions.
Nowadays, production plants are well established in China, Russia, Australia, Latin America, and of course Europe. Its commercial service its dealers fully cover 160 countries.
For IVECO brand vehicles, the color code plate (vinplate) is located in the engine compartment.
The color code is always made up of three digits. The extent of the database, i.e. the number of color codes, which the Iveco brand has accumulated during its existence, is remarkably large for a brand of commercial vehicles and trucks.
IVECO paint for cars and vans is made daily to order in a personalized way by a technician. IVECO paint is available according to a manufacturer's file of nearly 450 colours.

The way in which the color codes of the Iveco brand are composed is quite surprising and particular. Indeed, they all follow each other, in a simple and logical way : from numbers 1 to 100.
Of course, in order not to derogate from the rule commonly used in the automotive world, the color code is accompanied by a color name, which has the practicality of serving as a double check in case of doubt or confusion about a color code or a paint reference.
Here are some examples of standard colors for Iveco vehicles :
Color code / number of colors / brand / Year of operation
037 BEIGE ANTILOPE IVECO 1985 - 1986
037 ZINKGELB RAL 1018 IVECO 1987 - 2021
038 BEIGE LIBIA IVECO 1985 – 2021
