Hello again.
I have a sun visor (external to the car, covered in vinyl) for my HJ Caprice resto project.
It needs prep and repainting on the underside. The underside colour is a pale green / blue (rest of the car a metallic dark brown). The car's paint and trim codes do not cover this. Questions:
1. Were all of these external sun visors painted the same green/blue on the underside regardless of the car's body paint cover?
2. Is there an available paint code, or should I simply take it to someone for colour matching?
Thanks in advance

The underside of Holden exterior sun-visors have been painted that green could for decades.
I'm not sure about Commodores etc. because they're not that common an accessory on later cars, but in 50s, 60s, 70s Holdens they were all green in that spot.
Having said that, I don't believe that they've ever published a paint code for that particular colour.
Just get a pro to match the colour.

Thanks Terry, I suspected as much. I have a friend with a VE valiant, and it's identical colour as well. |
