Has a A72 car been resprayed?

  1. Find the model plate and read the code. On the caution plate in the engine bay, next to EXT (the exterior paint). Codes are a letter and two digits, such as W37. If it says A72, the car left the factory in Dark Bluish Grey Mica.
  2. Check the V5C. For Dark Bluish Grey Mica it should say GREY, SILVER or BLUE. Add the paint code to our free check and we’ll compare it with the DVLA record for you.
  3. Check the auction sheet. It should describe the car as grey 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.
  4. 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. Dark Bluish Grey Mica has a mica finish, so look along each panel at an angle for a change in shade.
