Paint codes

So upon doing some research, there are a few possibilities for a location of the paint code sticker.  I did not really need mine, as I have a friend with a Dupont paint chip book going back past 1980, but it was a fun search nonetheless.

One location is under the dash, upon the cross brace that extends across the front of the van, on the drivers side.  Look around the fuse panel.  Mine was not there.

A far easier location, if you still have your original documentation, is in the owners manual.  The sticker is often placed within the cover for easy reference.  I do not have any such original documents.

Another location is within the auxiliary battery well behind the drivers seat (US Version).  This is where I found mine.  It is within said well, on the wall closest to the passenger seat.  It is a sliver-ish sticker, about 1 inch by 3 inches and looked like this:

The translation of my sticker is: Elfenbein = Ivory, or Bone color.  And the L567 is the actual code that you would provide the paint supplier to mix up your color. I called up a friend who is a Lt Colonel in the US Army and who spent many years in Germany to get the translation of Elfenbein.  Its good for the soul to speak with old friends.
