Swatches are approximate on-screen colours only. Screens vary, and decades of ageing, fading and repainting mean no photo or swatch will match a real car. Always match against your own paint code, or a hidden, unfaded area of the car, before buying paint.
Where to find the paint code on a VL Commodore
On a VL, the paint code is a short code (for example 2j013) shown on the compliance plate. Check the plate and match the code to the list above.
- Many cars have been repainted, so the plate shows the original colour, which may not be the colour on the car today.
- If the plate is missing or unreadable, look for original paint in unexposed areas such as inside door shuts, under the parcel shelf or behind trim, and take a sample to a paint supplier for matching.
- If you are between two similar shades, compare against an original sample rather than relying on a screen.
Buying paint for your VL Commodore
Once you have your code, you have two practical options:
- Touch-up paint and spray cans for chips, scratches and small panels.
- Mixed paint by code or sample for panel and full resprays, from your local automotive paint supplier.
