I've never seen any kind of spray paint to match a manufacturer's paint at
*any* dealer.  Does VW really sell such stuff?  If so, that would be
great.  Do they still carry that Neanderthal Green that was offered in the
early eighties, in celebration of France's discovery of the cave drawings
showing some guy with a fig leaf and what had to be some sort of primeval
diesel engine?
