Has a H39 car been resprayed?
- 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 H39, the car left the factory in Kaiser Silver.
- Check the V5C. For Kaiser Silver 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. Kaiser Silver has a metallic finish, so look along each panel at an angle for a change in shade.
