GUYS. I checked the technical archives for the answer to my question but it apperently dosent cover the later Vanagons..

Where are the paint codes located on a 1988 Vanagon checked the glove box, the door post etc but no codes to be found.

This one is a 1988 dark Metallic Gray. Just need a little touchup paint but not sure what the color is called?

Anyone Know the color codes, or what colors were produced in the Westys for the 1988 Market?
Thanks for any assistance Smile

I never found my sticker either. Like you, I looked everywhere, it must have disappeared at some point !
A good source of information is this site : http://www.gti16v.com/vwcolors.htm though I suggest you check carefully. Mine is not stated in the proper year-model. It might be just cos mine is canadian.

Look for a sticker up underneath behind above the fuse block on the drivers side. # usually starts with a letter and 3 digits (L546).
