Unfindable paint code

[JDelarge]

My friend purchased a r32 gtr with this tag. I cant for the life of me find what paint code 5017 is and if its a genuine r32 colour. Have searched in japanese and english with no avail.

Well, it doesn't look like a faked up plate - in that it looks like it should, other than that paint code. But there are no 4 digit paint codes.

You've probably already looked at it, but GTR registry doesn't list R32 GTRs made in any colours other than 326, 732, AH3, BL0, KH2, the silvers (KG1/KL0), and TH1. Ignoring the handful in bright red and dark metallic green.

The paint in that photo looks like it might be dark blue pearl (TH1).

OEM paint code says 732 Black. So I suspect someone has replaced the VIN plate at some point. A lot of people out there make very convincing replicas of the original build plates now.

I can tell you 5017 is blue

will try and find the code mate 

[r32-25t]

My guess is this has been painted an aftermarket colour and had a plate made up with the new paint code

Custom plate laser etched with new paint code. Looks like it's called "Traffic Blue" by RAL:

OMG. Fancy using a RAL colour code on a car! What next? Pantone?

Reckon someone colourmatched Calsonic blue? or a poorly matched LM GT-R?
