EH Holden Paint Codes

Early Girls

EH Holden

The EH Holden (1963–1965) followed the EJ. Below is every factory paint code we have recorded for the EH Holden, with an approximate colour swatch so you can narrow down your car’s original shade before you buy paint.

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 EH Holden

On most early Holdens, colour information is found on the body number plate, usually fixed to the firewall in the engine bay.

• 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 EH Holden

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.
