Has a 1G4 car been resprayed?
- Find the model plate and read the code. On the manufacturer’s plate in the engine bay, usually on the bulkhead or a front strut top. It’s printed with the trim code as COLOR/TRIM (C/TR): in 040/FB20 the paint code is 040. If it says 1G4, the car left the factory in Quartz Grey Pearl Mica.
- Check the V5C. For Quartz Grey Pearl Mica 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. Quartz Grey Pearl Mica has a pearl finish, so look along each panel at an angle for a change in shade.
