| I don't know if you'd call it "darkish" , but L451 Indiana Red From '60 Type 1, is pretty close...Almost exactly like regular red primer, only not flat...Hope this helps? |

I don't believe VW ever painted anything brick red ? That was just an interior color they used with many outside colors (pearl white , ruby red , indiana red , black, ect) If you want the same color as the interior , take a piece with you to the paint store and look through their chip books (Sikkens has a clor map , PPG has a fleet book).
