Silverbullet is dead right but I found that when I had some paint mixed up for the original code it was quite a different shade to the van now, after 30 years out in all weathers. So I got a couple of big rattle cans mixed up to the shade the van is now and it was bob on. I'd imagine any decent commercial vehicle paint suppler could do this.
Are we going on anything else?

I have a similar problem, in that my van was repainted at some stage using a non-VW gold colour - but I have no idea what colour code name or number it is. It's very, very close to the original VW colour, but not quite...
