I read several posts where a member has tried to find a source for Berber Yellow (color code L11D).
I understand the frustration, because any web site that has that specific code (good luck finding one), the color is surely NOT Berber Yellow. In fact, it looks more GREEN than yellow and is even called Mayan Green on some sites. The Berber Yellow does have a green tint to it and actually looks somewhat greener than yellow if you look at it under neon lights at night. Bottom line to all the berber yellow owners out there, if you found a source for touch up paint for your car, can you post up a link to the product you used? |

I used paintscratch.com a while back (my code is L50C, not your color) ....you just give them the paint code. You have to call them. I recently ordered some of that Dr Colorchip stuff but haven't tried it yet. If you don't have any luck you will need to get the color matched at an automotive paint shop. You can take off a headlight cover and take it to them. |

I have a 75 in L11D and it's Berber Yellow not berber green. Have not had to do touch up as I did a total respray. I'd be wary of anything that says berber green.

I ordered some paint from Automotive Touch up. Seemed to be well priced and talking to them on the phone they were very helpful. Will let you know how close the match is.
