Your VW dealer parts guy may be lazy or stupid. Just last week I ordered VW touch-up paint for our '82 Westy. It took the parts guy a few minutes, as he had to cross reference it to a couple of different catalogue books to get a current part number. Took a few days to come in. Comes with a wee little de rusting tool that works like a charm on little scrapes. $4.00 U.S. G.
