Has a 61K car been resprayed?
- Find the model plate and read the code. On the model plate in the engine bay, usually on the bulkhead or a strut top, next to COLOR or C/T. If it says 61K, the car left the factory in Dark Grey Metallic.
- Check the V5C. For Dark Grey Metallic it should say GREY or SILVER. 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 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.
- 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 Grey Metallic has a metallic finish, so look along each panel at an angle for a change in shade.
