I have a 1960 jade green bug...original paint... the wheels are no longer painted the correct color. I know that they are suppose to be pearl white and swamp green. I am looking for someone that has a 1960 with the wheels painted the correct color or at least a paint sample. If it is a paint sample please show me an example of how it should be painted... even if it is of other colors...

I have looked all over for this info... I would appreciate any help...
Thanks

Just like this, with the outer portion of the wheel done in your correct green. Hope this helps?

Um. I've never heard of or seen swamp green.... But check here: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/paintcodestype1.php
Scroll to the bottom and it has all the VW paint chips. You might also want to try asking in the paint and body forum

Swamp Green is paint code L442 according to the 1960 color charts at wolfsburgwest.com. Nothing came up for that at glasurit.com though. I'm having a similar issue with Moss Green for my rims.
