Dose anyone know anything about paint codes.
I was given a colour and number, turquoise the code is L390 It is supposed to be an original VW colour from 61, I want to get some made up, are the numbers the same for different paint manufacturer's, and what company would have made this paint for VW, IE standox ect.
Thanks ...Rob....
