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 VK Commodore<\/h2>\n

On a VK, the paint code is a three-character code (for example U5A) that appears in the vehicle’s option and paint listing, usually on the compliance or build plate. Check the plate and match the code to the list above. <\/p>\n
