Has a F9T 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 F9T, the car left the factory in Plasma Blue Silica.
- Check the V5C. For Plasma Blue Silica 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. Plasma Blue Silica has a metallic finish, so look along each panel at an angle for a change in shade.
