Matching paint colour

I am doing some spot repairs to my paintwork on my Syncro and am having some trouble finding a rattle can in the required L90D colour.
Has anyone any advice on how to locate a supplier. I am in WA.

I have bought it in the past.  I will have a rattle around in the memory box and try to recall where I bought it.  It was from one of the big auto accessory chains.

Hi Jon

I bought a spray can in Bunbury to match my silver van through the car paint shop at the homemaker centre next to Bunnings. I gave them the number and they matched it on the spot.

Can is 2 years old and still works fine.

Thanks for the suggestion. The VW dealer in perth has no record of L90D as a Volkswagen colour!

Thanks for the advice. The Repco shop in the Homemaker Centre had no record of a VW colour L90D.
I have today located a source at Auto Pro Belmont where the have a record of no less than three L90D white paints.
One is the european imported 1989 'pastel white' and they will mix a spray can to the right formula for $29.95. Call in
and pay for the can and pick it up the next day.

You may have seen the reply I sent to Greg N today re the L90D paint colour. The person I spoke to at Auto Pro was very knowledgeable and although his first search did not find it he referred to some other database and came up with the L90D pastel white (European).

I have just received details of another Syncro for sale in Melbourne. 

This one is unusual in that it is effectively one owner and has the lowest odometer reading that I have seen so far.

Les

 

The van has 85000km on clock.  It's a camper van customised by my (late) dad.

He bought it new in 1992 as a window van had a pop top fitted and installed custom built internals.   As there are no vans to compare a price to with this unit, I'm finding it difficult to value.

It is in excellent condition.   I'll get some photos off once I've given it a wash.  It's always been kept under cover, however he hasn't driven it in a while.  It has been started religiously once a month just to recirculate the oil to the hydraulic tappets.

With other units overseas, a price around $25k could be starting point.  The van is located in Melbourne.

This colour is a very longstanding VW colour.  It graced a couple of million Beetles!!
