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.<\/em><\/p>\n

Where to find the paint code on a HQ Holden<\/h2>\n

On most Holdens of this era, colour information is found on the body number plate, usually fixed to the firewall in the engine bay. <\/p>\n
