Looking for a standard VW cream/Off white

Hi there,
A while ago I painted the roof of my VW type 3 in an off white that we just mixed up by eye. I really should have used a standard colour though because now i've run out of paint and I need to do a few touch ups 馃檨
So I was wondering, is there a good VW cream/off white that I could get my paint guy to mix up for next time?
Thanks
Pete

Have a look in the technical section of the samba, lotus white is really nice for slightly off white. If not plenty of other whites their to pick from.

It doesn't have to be an original VW colour, but an original formulated colour is a very good idea. Even if it is a more modern one. I used a Datsun colour on our old beetle for the white, and a Ford colour for the burgundy. Straight off the formula, should be the same from the same paint manufacturer every time. Within 0.01% probably.

Try polar white this was a standard VW colour in the sixties and is an off white depending on the bloke who mixes it.It was also used by Ford,Datsun and Toyota as it was a Dulux colour cheers Les
