Mon Feb 03, 2020 2:27 pm

I'm trying to get a quart of white F35 paint. Local body shops say they cannot cross this code over as it was a European paint. Does anyone have a local paint code that they were able to use to match up he F35 for a White 1995 Eurovan

I wonder if that translates to Pastel White - L90D, which was the long running white used on the T3 models. I wouldn't be surprised if they left that color code in place all these years. My '90 Mercedes uses Arctic White - 147, and so does every white Sprinter van you see out there on the streets today.

[EDIT] It appears that EVs use Arctic White - R902

I know its Called "Candy White" and Duplicolor has the color as EBVW20417. I just need to figure out how I can get a quart of the base color mixed at a local Body Shop.

I took the gas flap in to my local automotive paint store for them to scan and compare to the paint code they had on file. They made up a quart for me.

Can you share the paint code or any reference numbers they had ? I will do the same if not. Thanks for your help

That quart was for the Mercedes I mentioned earlier. Candy White is LB9A, which apparently also corresponds to Duplicolor DUPBVW2041

When I punch in your year EV here it shows Arctic White as the only white option: https://www.paintscratch.com/cgi-bin/select-color.cgi

Same for here:

My EV is Techno Blue Pearl LW5Y/K9

My Vanagon is Star Blue Metallic LD5T

Where did you find the linkage between F35 and Candy White? I haven't found any reference to F35 as a VW color code so far.

F35 is on the Drive Door Identification as the Color >>> F35 see the picture. Is this not correct ? or is there another code? The Candy White was what came up when I googled the 1995 Eurovan Duplicolor. So I am also confused as the Duplicolor does in fact match well as I painted a small areaalready

I couldn't find any VW color coded as F35

The model number cross-references to a Winnebago camper. If that's what you have, it was built on the long wheelbase T4 chassis, which was manufactured by VW commercial division, hence the different color "code". That said, all info I could find on the Winnebago campers says they are Arctic White. There are two codes for Arctic White: R902 and LR902. Apparently, they produce two different shades.
