Hi, I am trying to get hold of a couple spray cans to redo some very minor repairs but am having trouble with local suppliers and even the local vw dealership being able to find my paint codes!
It is two tone with light greyish brown on top and dark brown on the lower half.
The dealers booklet states the paint codes as LH8V/L575 - which according to the samba are mocha brown and nutria brown vw colours.
Can anyone recommend a good supplier who has these in stock or who can make them up?
Thanks

Re: Paint codes and suppliers
It's pointless getting cans off the shelf as the paint won't match even though it's the same paint code due to age and the paint fading.
You are better off taking the van to a good auto paint suppliers who have a paint analyzer to "read" the exact paint shade.

That is the best option
