Hi
Have a 1987 KOMET "off white" base colour. This seems to be the same colour as the range of Autohomes I have seen about.
Does anyone know if this is a VW "xxx white" or a paint number or can it be confirmed off the VIN?
Thanks
Andy

Pastel White, VW Code L90D

Check this by looking on the paper details stuck to the bulkhead below the steering wheel

be wary of halfords colour match - i bought a can of their pastel white and it looked very yellow/green on my van. then i went and got some mixed at a proper auto trade place and it looks a lot better

Oh bleedin' 'ell. I've just bought two cans of that!!

Hi
Thanks Andylekker, at the risk of having to owe someone else a beer , is it a case of taking the code into the autotrade paint guys and you can buy a pressurised spray can or the liquid only? As you may have guessed I do not have the compressor and bits, and if I did I would probably stare in ignorance.
Thanks

any decent atuo parts factor that says does paint should be able to supply ratle cans mixed for you give um a phone first might be better tho!

yes, as james says they will mix it for you - probably best to ask for cellulose paint and they will put it in a spray can

1664 - you may have been luckier than me so it's worth trying the halfords paint. i had put mine on the van in a few places before i realised just how bad it was but i just bought another mix from mitchells and did another coat over the top!

remember an only fools and horses when delboy got a job lot of cheep paint that turned out to be luminous yellow tunnel paint? - well i was reminded of that when i looked at bits of my van

Thanks for all the help and replies, I suppose James gets a beer as well
If it all goes mammaries skywards then I'll buy stickers.
Thanks again
