Has a NH731P 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 NH731P, the car left the factory in Crystal Black Pearl.
- Check the V5C. For Crystal Black Pearl it should say BLACK. 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 black 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. Crystal Black Pearl has a pearl finish, so look along each panel at an angle for a change in shade.
