Paint code needed please.

Post by northantsandy »

Hi folks
I have a Autohomes Komet Hitop, currently various shades of white. Having it painted over the winter and I was going to change colour completely but thought against it due to interior painted metalwork. I would like to know the code or name of the White paint best suited to my van. Also does anyone know where to get new Komet graphics from.

Many thanks

Probably VW Pastel White L90D. Do you have the paper VIN sticker fixed to the front bulkhead cross member below and to the right of the steeering wheel? The original colour code will be on that.

Don't think you can get the Komet decals 'off the shelf'. You might be able to get some specially produced if you're lucky (I never bothered, don't like them anyway)

Thanks 1664
Yeah was thinking about doing without the decals too, but unsure of alternative. Possibly thinking of pin striping after the paint. Just want to tidy it up a little. Thanks for the advice.
