 |
|
A while (a few years) ago I had purchased from I believe Bus Depot a small spray can of original sage green. I don't see it on their site anymore. Anyone have an idea where I can find it? I have a larger can, but the color is off, a tad too yellow.

This is what I had before. So hard to find a good match. I guess I can just go to one your links and hope they get it right. I wonder, is Taiga Green a different name or a different color than Sage?

Some paint supply jobbers will do a computer match to your paint and put the product in a spray can. They can do either Single stage or base with a can of clear

I've bought Vw color coded spray paints fro Tower Paint. Call them with the paint code and they make it up.

You'll not find any of that original VW touch up paint around, I expect.
As for places to make it up by code and put it in a can, I have had good luck with Sherwin-Williams Automotive division. They had all the codes I wanted except for one: L345 light gray. But they matched it to some original paint, and now they have that one in their database, too!
