Never really paid much attention to that color before but I really like it.

Here's my Mignonette bug, I've made a ton of progress and it should be road worthy soon!

Do I win the award for worst original paint Mignonette Beetle? My '59 is quite bad...
Was rescued from sitting in a field for the last 30 years...
At least the dash still has some paint. Would love to restore it to original, but is likely just too far gone...

What are your plans with it? I could use some parts for mine if you aren't going to do anything with it. |

My welding skills need to improve considerably before I can attempt to save this one. Have been slowly collecting parts for it, so hopefully it can be properly saved one day. It would definitely stay Mignonette Green, too.

| That car is too cool to cut up! I'd fix the rust and mob it just like it is! |

Hello
a small question to all you L14 Mignonette green beetle lovers... by any change, does someone know where my parts-store can find the formula?
Spectrophotometer test did not want to give any information, gave an error.
Any help is very welcome!
Many thanks,
Peter
