RE: Paint Matching
When I first got my '90 I realized it had been repainted and not a stock VW
color.  I took the rig into a local auto body supply store (Wesco to be
specific) and they used their little computer to do as perfect a match as I
could expect.  A pint of paint was about $32 IIRC and they put part of it up
in rattle cans for me.
Side Note:  My paint has of lot of metallic in it and  the metal flakes
settle out in a short time.  I had to take the cans back into Wesco to have
them run through thier shaker after the paint had set for a couple of
months.
