I am  trying to do some touchup to my 89 "Bluestar" and am having  trouble
matching the paint. The label near the fuse/relay box that has the  paint
code is missing. The label under the drivers seat doesn't appear to  have a
paint code. I took a paint sample to NAPA for them to use  their
spectro-analysis and tried what they mixed and it was too  light.
http://www.gti16v.com/vwcc1989.htm shows the blue for the Carat as  LP5Z,
Orly Blue Metalic, but when I check that color at NAPA the color chip  looks
too dark. I called a VW dealer hoping they could tell me the code  from the
VIN but they said "not on that old a vehical". I have not found  any web
site that lists the color codes for the vanagons that were known in  Europe
as the "Star" series of which a limited number were sold here in  white,
blue, and I think red. Can anyone help me with the paint code for  the
"BlueStar". The VIN is WV2YB0251KH057884 if that  helps.

Thanks,

its called star blue metallic.  it was only used on the '89 wolfsburg
editions - no other years.  in fact its so rare, the VW dealer doesn't even
have a record of it or carry touchup paint.
