Founding MOTIP

Less than 60 years ago, Wout Post, the founder of MOTIP, started using paint in his father’s shed in Valkenburg, the Netherlands. He wanted to earn something extra as a student and decided to sell pots of paint. His interest in paint developed and he began to experiment with the mixing of pigments himself.

Colours for cars

The self-mixing of pigments went so well that, in addition to decorative paints, Post also started to focus on paints for motor vehicles. The pots of paint were exchanged for spray cans and small bottles. Easy to repair paint damage to your car. The name Post changed to MOTIP, which refers to the paint tip bottles for quick self-repairs to motor vehicles. The paint is now available in almost all the original colours of cars.

How to find a car paint colour code

Need to know the colour of your car? It’s actually located on your car. Even if two paint colours look the same, car manufacturers make loads of different exterior paint colours and they can all vary from year to year, so you need to make sure the code is right to get an exact paint match. Find out below where you can find your car’s colour.

Most common places

The image above shows the most common places where you can find your colour code. If you select your car brand you will see a specific image containing the locations for your vehicle.

Variation

Car manufacturers have different production series where they might use paints from different paint manufacturers. Therefore, it can occur there are slight changes in colour shade under the same car colour code. To supply everyone, MOTIP makes these variations available. Is there a check mark visible in this column? This means you have a colour code with variations. The differences are small. However, they may be noticeable. We simply cannot say precisely which article best matches the colour of your car. In this case, we’d recommend you check the colour chart at a shop. If you do want to try, always spray a small sample to check if the colour matches the colour of the car.
