Club 80-90 Forums

decided to tidy up the paintwork on my van which is white. bottom partial respray there are two shades of white, the motor factor let me take the colour card out, they are old stalk. i could see little difference in two of them one was pastle white the other was alpine white.i took a guess at what i thought was the closest that being pastle white.its no where close more like cream have had to rub it down again and get more paint tomorrow hopefully the alpine white will be nearer the colour.

Get the paint code off of the sticker on the bulk head.

thats the unfortunate thing the code is nowhere to be found either under the bulkhead or under the passenger seat

or here on your VW service book.
From the chart this vehicle is "pastel white" (L90D) the 'L' being laquer

This paint code will get you the right colour from a good Automotive paint supplier.... not half wits

no service book either kev
