Swatches are approximate on-screen colours only. Screens vary, and decades of ageing, fading and repainting means 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 an FJ Holden
On most FJs, colour information is found on the body number plate, usually fixed to the firewall in the engine bay. Look for a four-digit code and match it to the list above.
- Many FJs 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 rear parcel shelf or behind trim, and take a sample to a paint supplier for matching.
- Several FJ colours are close shades of grey, cream or green. If you are between two, compare against an original sample rather than relying on a screen.
Buying paint for your FJ
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.
