Go along to the local Panel beater and spray painter they should have paint chip books in ther shops to match colours.
These list hundreds of different colours Take your pick and just remember what it is, for next time.

There's also a real wicked fusia pink/purple which is also a vw colour. Go to your painters shop and theyll show you some sample booklets.

PPG make a beautiful pink pearl called Fuschia. A little bit more expensive than standard base color.
Also check out the House of Kolor paint catalogue....awesome pearls and kandies!

Thanks for your suggestions. She finally picked Sikkens Special Effects Tender Pink Pearl. Should look good.
