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 HT Holden

On most Holdens of this era, 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 HT 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.

SAE 10W-30 5.3 L 3.8L Ecotec-generation pushrod V6 Castrol GTX 10W-30 / Penrite Everyday 10W-40 5.3L figure sourced from a CarsGuide Q&A on a 1998-era V6 Commodore. Holden\'s factory handbook spec for this era was 10W-30 do not use 20W-50, which is too heavy for this engine\'s oil-pump clearances. VZ also introduced the Alloytec 3.6L V6 late in its run alongside the outgoing Ecotec 3.8L — see VE/VF entry for Alloytec-specific figures if fitted.
