Hi my vans color is MARINE BLUE - A5B - J2 and i want to order some rustoloum but i need the ral color, now i think its 5015??

can anyone confirm this?

Somewhere on Brick-Yard there is a list of all the VW paint colours & numbers etc so you could try there.

yep thats where i got the color and paint code for, but its not got ral info on it too

This was discuussed before. Baxter reckoned there is no VW to RAL equivalents, just some close matches. VW paint codes are just that, VW codes, and don`t match with standard stuff.

Hi

I posted the last time trying to find my white L90D.

What I found out was RAL is exclusively involved in the definition and standardisation of colour shades. It doesn't develop or create colours it only defines colours currently in use. There are a few VW colours which have been defined by RAL. http://www.ral.de/

What I had to do was go down to my local auto paint guy and match the colour by eye. He had some neat cards that let me get a good match.

The paint I had didn't have a RAL code so I had to go for a BS code. http://www.combicolor.co.uk/ will match any BS or RAL colour.

Hope this helps

What was the BS code you used for L90D ? Have you got the Combicolour yet ? How close is it ?

Hi Andy

I didn't like the Pastle White mix, can get you the code but it will be the 3rd before I see the guy again.

What we did was match the paint by eye. It is a good match to the VW Pastle White, I know the guy who mixed my paint scribled some notes down.

I have only painted the rear quater. We matched the paint from my mates T2. Wish I had a photo of them side by side the phots don't show close it is.

Take a piece of what you wish to match .... in our case the panel I cut out to put the 240 hook-up socket in, they'll scan and match it (within reason)

How about the number plate hatch ? Bit smaller than a door
