Has a 3S7 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 3S7, the car left the factory in Cherry Pearl Crystal Shine.
- Check the V5C. For Cherry Pearl Crystal Shine it should say RED, MAROON or PINK. 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 red 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. Cherry Pearl Crystal Shine has a pearl finish, so look along each panel at an angle for a change in shade.
