There are only 2 places you willmfind a paint code.....

1. Paper sticker under the fuse panel ...... Rarely found, often peeled off.

2. In many (but not all units) there is a steel plate under the front seat that is stamped and painted the body color. I've noticed that campers with the rotating seat do not have this plate...... Too hard to install?

And the 86 Full Westy in my driveway has the spot for the plate sprayed over at the factory..... Two holes..... No ID plate.

If you are implying illegal activity in NJ....... I think you need to look around and see which regional area has a tough time waking up and finding their Van Where they left it last night...... Shocked

Hah! That's because there are Vanagons all over the streets in this region - whereas in Jersey they are garage queens. Cool

That truck belongs to napat

I don't believe that it is a official VW color, probably inspired by the early Jadgwagen color.

The truck was originally white
