Thanks! I was amazed how much difference the new WW tire made compared to the cheap Nexus tires that were on it.

Wow - that interior looks very nice and correct. Is that the original floor mat or did you dye a WW mat? It looks great

Hey Erik,
Glad you like the interior. Here's how I pulled off the "correct" red floor mat. It's Wolfsburg West's grey mat that I colored. It's holding up great to normal wear, so it might be the way to go.

First I wiped the new grey mat down with acetone to prep it and then following instructions on the can, gave it three coats of SEM Color Coat in Portola Red (15363).

I also made my own carpet kit but that's a whole other story.

Here is my new 61'. This is right after it came off the trailer after bringing it back 9 hrs from Montana. It is in the process of getting all new brakes, lines, and wheels/tires but more on that later...

This looks more tan / grey to me.

I'm not sure it's an original VW color but it could be.
Flint Grey?

That is really cool, the colored matt. I am looking to do similar to my green floor matt in my 61 Bug. I looked at SEM Color Coat color chart and don't see any greens offered. does anyone have a recommendation on how to obtain a green floor matt flexible paint such as the SEM color coat that was used on this fantastic red matt?

I'm thinking of painting my 63 L87 Pearl White. Is it harder to lay down a pearl white paint job than a non-pearl? Going to be my first attempt at a paint job Shocked
