Where to look on your Maxus
- Door jamb. Open the driver's door and check the B-pillar, the upright between the front and rear doors, for a label or plate. If it's not there, try the passenger side.
- Paperwork. The purchase invoice or the V5C logbook will at least give you the colour name, which you can search for.
What the code looks like
Maxus codes are a short mix of letters and numbers, such as M001 (Blanc White) or A001 (Lava Grey).

Can't find the vehicle label?
- Call your local Maxus dealership, ask for the Parts department, and give them your registration or VIN. They can look up the factory colour code.
- Search by colour. If you know the colour name or roughly what colour it is, filter our Maxus colour codes by colour and year to narrow it down.
Still stuck, or not sure the code matches a resprayed panel? Bring the fuel flap or a small part into a branch and we'll match it on the counter.
What you’ll need
Once you have the code, the finish tells you what to order. Maxus colours fall into these groups:
Single-stage
Solid colours
One paint. It dries to a gloss finish, so no lacquer is needed.
1 Maxus colour
Two-stage
Metallic, pearl and most modern colours
Basecoat, then clear lacquer over the top.
14 Maxus colours
Three-stage
Pearl tri-coat colours
Basecoat, a pearl mid-coat, then clear lacquer. Order both paints together so they match.
1 Maxus colour
