Has a HZ 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 HZ, the car left the factory in Sunburst Yellow.
- Check the V5C. For Sunburst Yellow it should say YELLOW or GOLD. 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 yellow 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.
Questions

The DVLA records a basic colour, not the paint name, so a car still in its factory Sunburst Yellow should be registered as YELLOW or GOLD. Anything else suggests it has been painted a new colour, and the keeper should have told the DVLA.
