    The body on my 108 is in epoxy primer and ready for paint. I plan to paint it next spring myself. I am trying to figure out what the original turquoise type color was called that our vans were painted? I want to do a BC/CC job in two tone with white.

    You can
    A. find an original paint chip chart and use that to match the color.

    B. Look up the color online or in your local paint store's catalogs.

    C. Find a spot inside that still has original paint and have the paint store match it. This is the best if you are not doing the jambs, since it will match the remaining paint.

    Thanks Rod! I found that I want to paint it 42887 Desert Turquoise. The interior will be white.
