Question 1:  Go to Bustopia.com  Gives a full outline.  BTW:  any decent auto paint supplier should be able to help in this effort.  Modern paint suppliers can provide a spray can or two for touch up work; they have some gizmo that can figure all of this stuff out.  Including faded colors.  Device looks at your actual paint.  Not certain, but I believe original paint codes were on Driver Side door jamb sticker.  Previously for touchup, I used PaintScratch.com  Was OK.  Took a couple tries to get it right.  Next time, I will go with the more modern method.

Question 2:  Our best friend BenT Syncro is one of the list administrators on FB Vanagon Owners Group.  He is a very busy man, and there have been some issues.  Try again.  Most likely, he will recognize your name, and immediately give access.  This is a wonderful resource!  When I first joined, only 9.5 K members; now, something like 13.8 K members.  Tons of tricks, fixes, resources, ideas.  Great photos!  Make Firefox your browser, and associated AdBlockerPlus (all free) to eliminate any undesired junk.

 Hi All,

Two questions.

  1.  where can I find the paint code sticker on my 87 Vanagon?
  2.  Who is the list admin for the FB Vanagon Owner’s group? I put in a request to join over two weeks ago, and no response <cricket chirps>???

Thsnks.
