Bummer. Here is a list of codes: http://www.bustopia.com/vw-vanagon-paint-codes.html As far as the top goes, Westfalia painted them, not VW, and there are no codes. Westfalia also used a very inferior paint. I've had excellent results twice now having Wesco (https://wescopbe.com/store-locations/) do a computer match from the front underside of the top on the side flange or the back side of the luggage rack, which are protected from the sun and weather. They used a hand held scanner, and matched both the blue used with the Dove Blue '87 and the tan used on my '85. You can also choose the level of gloss you want, but the scanner will match the OEM gloss perfectly, which is actually semi-gloss, not high gloss. I prefer the OEM look over vans that have been repainted with a single clear coated color. One quart will do the top, and these catalyzed urethane acrylic enamels will last a very long time!
