Has a 5S car been resprayed?
- Find the model plate and read the code. On the caution plate, in the engine bay on older models and on the driver’s side centre pillar on later ones, next to COLOR. Mazda codes are two or three characters. If it says 5S, the car left the factory in Neat Green Mica.
- Check the V5C. For Neat Green Mica 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. Neat Green Mica has a mica finish, so look along each panel at an angle for a change in shade.
