Has a G55 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 G55, the car left the factory in Offbeat Khaki Metallic.
- Check the V5C. For Offbeat Khaki Metallic it should say GREEN, BEIGE or GREY. 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. Offbeat Khaki Metallic has a metallic finish, so look along each panel at an angle for a change in shade.
