Spray Paint

bit off topic but I am after a VW colour called Pastel White L90d...went into Colorworks and they could not find it on the komptah..... I go on the net and no probs..... do old paint numbers not mean anything here in NZ???

Haven't you got any left over appliance white?

Same thing with BMW colour codes. Apparently the problem is due to the switch to water-based paints. The old colours often don't have a direct water-based equivalent.

Some places will mix up a tin or aerosol of paint, colour-matched to a sample such as a small panel (like a fuel flap) or even taking the car in. Worth a try.
