FE Holden<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n

<\/p>\n

The FE Holden (1956\u20131958) followed the FJ as the next generation of Holden sedan and wagon. Below is every factory paint code we have recorded for the FE Holden, with an approximate colour swatch so you can narrow down your car’s original shade before you buy paint.<\/p>\n

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 FE Holden<\/h2>\n

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