from Garwood's "car of the Century"
on a standard... the entire wheel would be L32...
on a delux... the rim would be L32 and the hub would be L75 Light Beige... _________________ some cars

Can you confirm the L32 is very similar to the dove blue on a split bus |

Not at all.
L32 is very dark blue.
Depending in the light conditions it looks close to black sometimes. _________________ Master of my domain! |

L31 is the VW commercial paint called Dove Blue... sometimes known as Tauben blue in the early years.
L32 is Dunkel Blau (Dark Blue) as per that hubcap in a prior post.
L36 is a really nice darker grey blue... known as Azure blue.
All of them are great colors....
Go to a paint shop that has the mixing codes for Glasurit... they can get you the correct shade... or at least as correct as can be had with modern paints that are NOTHING like the original single stage paints. (minor rant) _________________ some cars
