  View original topic: Headlight Bucket Color?

I am restoring my headlight buckets and want to repaint them. Does anyone know what color they are? A color code? These look sort of greyish... Not sure if that is the original color or just an OLD color?
Thanks.

Rust-Oleum gloss light gray. At Home Depot. Really.

Would it make a difference to use a bright white to improve visiblity, 6Volt system?

I don't think the white will help much, the headlight lenses are responsible for directing the beam.

Krylon Stone grey (Satin finish) because rust o leum sucks. I think the semi gloss finish looks most factory.

Check the Wolfsburg West website for paint codes for your year. It has everything from the black colour of brake pedals etc. to the body colour. It should have the headlight bucket grey. Justin in Victoria.
