You can get a spray can from paintscratch.com. Input 1984 VW Van and then add the spray paint to the cart. Sorry, I can't find a way to link to it.

For an off the shelf color, maybe Rust-Oleum Sand? Doesn't look quite yellow enough, but I'm just basing that off LT1M photos online. I have a can of this paint though and the cap color isn't too far off.

Thanks for the reply erste. I'll check both of those tips out.

Looking to confirm paint code for an 1987 Westfalia - I dont have a sticker under the dash, and there is no "plate" under the driver seat.
Any other way to confirm paint code?

I have narrowed it down one of these two.
Savanna Beige Metallic (LH1V)
Flash Silver Metallic (LP7Y)

Post a photo or two of your van.

What color paint code. Exterior is primeras, almost ready for paint.

Looks to me like LP7Y X9 [flash silver] But hard to tell, I've been fooled by a camera more than once.

Damn I needed this 2 weeks ago.
Oh well...paint is on now. Looks pretty close to me but it's a gm color I think.
Had to go by color scan. Ehh...my thing is about 15 different shades of oxidized tan, small rust repair tan with the right code 5-6 years old and now this very similar gm tan in patches..
Somehow my searching here didn't find this thread..

If looking to repaint the fiberglass bumpers, does one need a flex agent or will a rattlecan from paintscratch.com hold up with proper prep and application?
