Has a 4W4 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 4W4, the car left the factory in Dark Sherry Mica Metallic.
- Check the V5C. For Dark Sherry Mica Metallic it should say BROWN, BRONZE, MAROON or RED. 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 brown 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 Sherry Mica Metallic has a mica finish, so look along each panel at an angle for a change in shade.
