Has a NH704M car been resprayed?
- Find the model plate and read the code. On a plate or sticker in the engine bay or on the driver’s door pillar, often printed with a hyphen, as in NH-0 or R-81. Type it with or without the hyphen. If it says NH704M, the car left the factory in Super Platinum Metallic.
- Check the V5C. For Super Platinum Metallic it should say SILVER 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 silver 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. Super Platinum Metallic has a metallic finish, so look along each panel at an angle for a change in shade.
