Hi, can anyone tell me if they know of the closest colour match to the gold painted caravelle's. I just bought one and i'm concerntrating on the interior and engine this year but would like to tidy up the outside a bit before the respray next year.

When you find out let me know - mine is needing touching in a few places now. (Quite honestly I haven't bothered trying to find out as I am not a glutton for punishment)

hunt out the colour code, and any decent paint shop will make the colour up for you, or even most will match the colour the same as the van is now

cheers guys will continue to look

Hey guitarman,
I had a look for this for a mate ages ago (wanted it for his for his Golf to match his Nokia, sad I know, this was 10 years ago!) and he was horrified to find that the colour he wanted was called BEIGE not gold! This was the one http://www.gti16v.com/vwcsll1m.htm#vwcsll1m" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; not sure if this is the same as yours. What I did for my van was check the sitcker.

Good luck

Matt
