According to the list archives, a paint code sticker may be found on a painted surface under the driver's seat or near the fuse box. Mine was missing, so I called our local VW dealer parts dept. and told them the build date and VIN, and that mine was white. They looked it up and said "L90D". Next, I went to an automotive paint shop and asked to see a paint card for the Volkswagen color "L90D". He showed me a catalog page with one square of paint labeled "L90D Pastel White". I took the card out to the car and it was a perfect match. Mike Catlin Davis, Calif. |
