Hey All-

I want to do a few paint touch ups on the cargo floor of my OG 65 BGR/SW Standard bus. It appears that the colour is BGR although I could be wrong. So 2 questions

1. was the cargo floor originally painted BGR?
2. Where can I buy a aersol spray bomb paint can for this colour? Are these being sold and can they be shipped? Trying to source/fab this stuff locally is next to impossible.

Any and all hints appreciated.

yes it was BGR after 1961 and Wokfsburgwest should have the paint.

BGR = Beige Grey- I had a look at the WW site and they don't seem to carry this colour although they have all sorts of other ones- sigh

PaintScratch.com also carries (non aeresol) touch up paint. I ordered some from them- the sealing wax red was extremely close to the original the Beige Grey was not even close. The company swears up and down the paints are 100 % close to original I beg to differ.

$0.02 just passing the info along.
