Has a RAY car been resprayed?
- Find the model plate and read the code. On the model plate (the “caution plate”) in the engine bay, usually on the bulkhead, next to COLOR. Some later models put a sticker on the driver’s door pillar instead. If it says RAY, the car left the factory in Aurora Flare Blue Pearl.
- Check the V5C. For Aurora Flare Blue Pearl it should say BLUE. 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 blue 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. Aurora Flare Blue Pearl has a pearl finish, so look along each panel at an angle for a change in shade.
