AIXAM car paint

In this category are grouped all the necessary products concerning complete paintwork or touch-up paintwork with the colour codes of French cars and therefore the colour codes of Aixam cars, but also all the primers and topcoats, or even the complete kit for painting an AIXAM vehicle.
We offer the possibility of choosing between paint in cans for spray application or spray paint (aerosol 400 ml).
For bodywork topcoats applied above the AIXAM colour code paint, the same : we even offer two-component aerosols to achieve a topcoat as hard as professional automotive topcoats.

AIXAM paint is generally of two types and we invite you, thanks to a quick visual check, to determine into which type your paint falls on your AIXAM vehicle :

1 - classic or old utility colours of the opaque type
2 - AIXAM shades with a metallic or pearl effect

If your paint falls into the second category, then you will need to choose below the type of 1K basecoat paint to be topcoated, sometimes also called 1K paint.

If your vehicle is of the utility type and you want to paint as simply and economically as possible, then you can choose the type of 2K paint below. This paint comes with a hardener and does not need topcoat. It is a 2-in-1 paint.

On the contrary, the 1K basecoat type paint to be topcoated must be applied with a bodywork topcoat, which gives it shine and resistance. It is a two-step paint system, which today represents more than 95% of the colours in the world of professional bodywork. It is an easier-to-apply paint that does not run and dries very quickly.

Here are some tips for a successful touch-up or even complete paintwork project*.

Note that the complete paintwork of a vehicle requires work in a professional booth. Only paint touch-ups with AIXAM colour codes can be done in your garage or even in your garden.

Be sure to study the detailed instructions on the product page. Achieve  excellent preparation of the support, with sanding at 500. Use a degreaser and a sticky anti-dust pad before applying the paint and the topcoat.

It is of course necessary to have a bodywork topcoat to topcoat your AIXAM paint. It is important to have a scale or a measuring cup in order to mix the topcoat with its hardener and its thinner.

AIXAM paint is normally ready to use, except for large packaging, in which the thinner is delivered separately. It will be enough to simply add between 50 and 70 percent in your paint, then stir.

The history of the AIXAM manufacturer

Did you know that the manufacturer AIXAM is of French origin ? This micro car company was founded in 1983 and it is owned by POLARIS Industries.
This Savoy-based company produces mini-cars known in automotive jargon as "micro cars". When it was created, it belonged to the insurance and investment group AXA, then was later bought by the American group POLARIS.

It was in 1992 that the AIXAM design team began production of a range of standard size vehicles under the name "MEGA".

However, most AIXAM vehicles are very small vehicles intended for  drivers without a licence. Some of the smaller models have a speed limit of 45 km/h.
Some of these models are also classified in Great Britain as bicycles (quadricycles).
The AIXAM car has engines of 0.4L or sometimes 505 cubic centimetres. The fastest vehicles in the range can reach speeds of 93 km/h. There are petrol and diesel engines.

Where to find the colour code of your AIXAM car ?

For AIXAM brand vehicles, the plate mentioning the colour code (vinplate) is located :
- Inside the engine compartment.
You can take help from the images provided below which illustrate the location.
The colour code is always composed of three characters (letters or numbers).
If you are having difficulty finding your code, we advise you to also look in the door and if you really cannot find any reference resembling a colour code, then we urge you to consult certain specialised forums on the Internet for the AIXAM brand, or even to make a phone call to your nearest dealer.

The emblematic colours of AIXAM cars

This micro manufacturer has released, since its creation in the 80s, a limited number of mini car models. The brand's colour database is logically smaller than that of the major automotive groups. However, there is a very emblematic colour that everyone knows, it is the golden pearly orange 103 from the AIXAM brand.

AIXAM colour code
101 GOLD AIXAM 1996 - 2000
103 FIRST COAT AIXAM 2013 -
103 OR NACRE AIXAM 2013 -
308 ROUGE CANDY NACRE AIXAM 2013 -
308 FIRST COAT AIXAM 2013 -
402 BLANC AIXAM 1995

We can notice, with the examples above, that it is common to encounter, among the AIXAM colour codes, fairly sophisticated shades called tri-layers.
For these particular shades, there are paints with the same code, but one of which is called FIRST COAT : it is in a way the undercoat.
