Peugeot to introduce textured paint finishes

Most manufacturers strive to give their cars smooth and blemish-free paintwork. However, Peugeot is set to do exactly the opposite by offering its newly-facelifted 208 with two exclusive textured matt shades.

Called Ice Grey and Ice Silver, they've apparently taken four years to develop. Their secret is a unique lacquer which incorporates fine silica particles and polyamide micro-balloons. As a result, it's claimed that the granular finish is hard-wearing and scratch-resistant.

If some extra contrast is needed, Menthol White or Lime Yellow styling packs can be specified for the exterior and interior.

In the UK, the textured paint options both cost £645. For those who don't fancy them, the refreshed Peugeot 208 is also going to be available with a 'normal' selection of solid, metallic and pearlescent colours.

Sales begin in June.
