go to
http://www.gti16v.com/vwcolors.htm

and get the paint code.
a GOOD automotive paint supply company can supply you the EXACT shade with
the paint code for your van.

you might also find the paint code on a white paper tag still glued to the
van.  Either below the fuse box, or under the driver's seat.
