Apprently you can find out this info for the vin plate but I'm not at home so need some educated guessing
I have looked on the brick yard for info on paint. My van is a 1982 so from the charts on there is must either be
ORIENT RED
or
MARSALA RED
Anyone care to make a guess.
And also can I get this paint from any car paitn shop if I give them the correct paint code?

thanks guys
I was just about to order some red paint but it seems that would have been a waste of time since it is either blue or white

Correct. It's Marsala red. VW code H3
Remember - most colours are really only part of a shade of tartan
