VW dealers don't carry Vanagon paint anymore. There is a list of paint codes for the vanagon on gerry somewhere. Once you get the paint code you can have the paint made at Tower Paint (800-779-6520). I think it was about $20 for a 16 oz spray can. If there is'nt any rust already I would prime it asap with any primer made for metal that is close to the color of your van. Then you can sand the primer and apply the touchup spray paint. I used this method when I treated all the rust on my van this summer and it worked fine. Just don't expect showroom results. IF you want those bring it somewhere and be prepared to spend some big bucks. Andrew Fox 96 Westy Ft.
