Hi guys im just in the middle of repainting the rear panels near the intakes and bought what i thought was the right colour, but its turned out to be nothing like..... i cant find the code on the van so im looking for a bit of guidance. I thought it was arctic white but its too white. mines more creamy colour, any ideas? I know its difficult from a discription but there cant be that many whites for a 1990 transporter can there? Any help or advice appreciated
cheers

The paint code will be on a paper sticky lable under your glovebox! It will show a code like L90D or so! :wink:
