83 Westy beige interior cabinets colour code?

Post by waltraud »

I'm hoping to build a surround for a crx50 fridge and am hoping someone has discovered a paint code match for the early Westy beige interior furniture - i.e. The laminate:/formica colour on early kitchen units 81-84 light brown/beige. Thanks

Thought I had seen one before on here but can't find now then I search.

Did come up with this hit though from the US https://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewt ... &start=480

The picture of the upside down tin lid has a mixing code on it. Problem you will have is translating that to something the paint suppliers over here will understand.

But if they can get the computer to match the paint so well, why not try getting it matched over here in the same way?

I've done it here at homebase. Took the small cupboard door & got it matched. Not perfect but pretty close.

We took a cupboard door to B&Q to colour match, and it was absolutely spot on! 8)
