The paint code on your van can be found on a silver sticker under your passenger seat, inside the front cover of your service book or on the white paper sticker that was attached to the door post above your accelerator pedal.
If you cannot find your paint code and you really need this information then take a trip to your local VW dealership with your reg. number and your 17 digit chassis number and the parts dept. should be able to give you a print out of your vehicles details otherwise you could get your vans "birth certificate" from Germany at....

Still got my baby though am considering selling it at the moment, if not i will also need to know the colour of this van as i had to put it on the nasty salty road this winter for the first time and it has taken its toll. Nice to know its a van for someone to dream about thats why I bought it too.
