No help on the color match but:
The interior should be Green too, if it was original.

Here's another paint code for you. This is for L345 Light Grau (Light Gray) as matched by the Sherwin-Williams Automotive guys in Albuquerque. This color should be in their system now.

This is a single stage paint, based on Dimension Hp SS

Recipe is for 2 quarts, so scale accordingly. All masses are in grams.

Code:
DM 633 DIMENSION 974.81 g
DM 522 Strong W 796.35

DM 528 Ferrite 152.90

I asked this in the Ghia section too.

Cardinal Red L354 - PPG Mixing Code/formula.

I need the PPG formula to have a small amount made. It's for a very small project.

Hey. In my '71 Bus, the dash has a gray paint hiding underneath the rubber/vinyl/padding, but it doesn't match the only gray (L345 light gray) offered in that year. Does anyone know what it could be? It has never been painted, and like i said, is the same color underneath the bits that are peeling away.

Apologies if this is not the place to ask...

Does anyone knows the mixing Formula of colour L 36 Azur Blue ?

Thanks

Does anyone happen to know the paint code or mixture for
Branco (aka White) Alaska?

I have a 1980 Brasilia and I was told this was the only white they used for that year. Any assistance would be appreciated!

IN the paint codes by year, for example, L 63 K (43). What is the K(43)? And under the interior colors, 55 Leatherbeige 71. What is the 71?

Hi guys
I have had a search on here but not sure of the wording you guys over the pond would use. I am looking for the paint code for the inside rims of the head lights that hold the sealed beam unit. It looks like a matt/sandy grey colour. Mine is a 1965 Kombi SO33 and well rusty!
cheers

I don't know if there is an official paint code but see this thread in the Bus section from the Bus FAQ about headlight bucket colors:
