VW colour chart

Post by **Sidney'61** » Mon Oct 27, 2008 8:43 pm

Hi,
May sound like an odd request but has anyone got a colour chart for the original VW beetle?
I'd like to find what shade of light blue they used.
You can't really find much information of original beetles on the internet, they seem to have all been modified!

Thanks

Cant help I'm afraid.

I'd suggest you try volkszone.co.uk/VZI

Probabally get you sorted there!

If they don't have what you're looking for, I don't know who does.

Thanks Scott, I'll have a look on there later and see if I can find it.

Dan, I've joined that VW forum and asked them about it, I'll see if I get a response.

Thanks

Just got a response from the VW forum and apparently my minor is painted in Marina Blue.
Methinks a very appropriate colour name for a Morris!

Whatever, it's called it's a really nice blue, in fact I think I prefer it to smoke grey

I agree, nice shade.

Thanks for the compliments, she is a very attractive car.
Just got to sort out a few cases of peeling paint and all will be fine
