Paint Code For Blizzard White?

[VWNewbie666]

Does anyone have the paint codes for Blizzard White for a 1973 VW Thing?

Original white color for US Things was Blizzard White (L90H).

I'm trying to find some touch-up paint for my '74 (blizzard white - L90H) but all the websites I've checked so far only have L90D (pastel white) or L90M (blizzard white).

I wonder how different L90M is to L90H?

Or maybe it has something to do with the finish (Thing paint had a semi-gloss finish, right?)

After numerous attempts, the local "Colours" automotive paint supplier (formerly PPG) managed to match the original white paint on our 74 Acapulco.
The attached pictures of the spray can show the paint code numbers.
I do not know if the white paint on the 74 Acapulco is the same as what you are looking for.
Good luck, I hope this helps you and others.

Thanks Gene. I think I'll just go ahead and order one aerosol can and see how close of a match it is.

I don't know if it helps but in Europe the official name is cream white L90H

The white paint on your Acapulco has a gloss finish, a regular white Thing has a finish that is more of a satin finish. The only way you're going to get a decent match is to have a paint shop match one of your body panels, like a door or dash panel.

I just used a kit sold by "Dr. Color CHIP",on my wifes 83 db900 deep blue Mercedes Color match was very good and followed insrtuctions,came out great. Its all I use anymore.

I was able to find L90H touch-up paint at PaintScratch.com (it was listed for a 1972 Bus). It was also described as 'cream white' (thanks, el_safari!)

I'll report back on how well it matches my original paint.
