Other Toyota models outside our model library used 5A3 too.
Has a 5A3 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 5A3, the car left the factory in Yellow.
- Check the V5C. For Yellow it should say YELLOW or GOLD. 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 yellow 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.

What colour is Toyota paint code 5A3?

What colour should the V5C say for a car in 5A3?
The DVLA records a basic colour, not the paint name, so a car still in its factory Yellow should be registered as YELLOW or GOLD. Anything else suggests it has been painted a new colour, and the keeper should have told the DVLA.
