| Look under the wheelwells, behind the kick panels or door panels and I'm sure you'll find remenants of the OG paint. I'm sure it wasn't mouse grey over sealing wax red though. NAES |

| Thanks for the wollsburgwest tips. They reckon L53 sealing wax red/L472 beige grey and I just got a copy of the 'Fahrzeug-IdentitSts-urkunde' from the vw museum in Wolfsburg itself which confirms this and the upholstery colour too, so I guess you can rely on them people. If anyone has a pic of a bus wearing these colours, it would be cool to see what I'm in for. Thanks again. |

My bus is at:
http://www.vigil.4mg.com/
It is sealing wax red with white. The grey is slightly darker obviously but I prefer the white even though it is not original. THere are pictures of the interior as well...
