After 30 years the colour will have faded so much that I doubt you will get a match in any case. The panels used by the manufacturers were pre painted by the aluminium supplier so unless you are doing a complete respray you might end up with a multi shade unit.

Hi. The colour looks a mustard type. Want to repaint the roof, at the moment as it had mastic on it at the front. Then repaint the full van later, when weather gets better. Hoping to find similar colour to what it should be if possible.

as above i think the paint fade would cause you a headache even if you got the correct colours.

How accurate does it need to be? Just get some coach enamel of more or less the right shade, some places will mix specific colour up if you want. As stated your present colour will not be accurate anyway as it will have faded.
