Has a G51 car been resprayed?
- Find the model plate and read the code. On the caution plate, whose position varies by model: look in the engine bay first, then the door pillars. Some Daihatsus share Toyota’s codes. If it says G51, the car left the factory in Muscat Green Metallic.
- Check the V5C. For Muscat Green Metallic it should say GREEN. Add the paint code to our free check and we’ll compare it with the DVLA record for you.
- Check the auction sheet. It should describe the car as green and usually prints the code. A sheet that says one colour with a code for another means the car was painted before it was sold in Japan. Our auction sheet translator flags that.
- Look for the old colour where a respray rarely reaches: the engine bay, door shuts, inside the boot lid and fuel flap, and under rubber seals. Muscat Green Metallic has a metallic finish, so look along each panel at an angle for a change in shade.
