				| Hi, 
 Here is a scan of the original VW color code sheet:
 
 
 The original resolution is low but IMO it reads:
 
 L70 Medium Brown
 18.5 parts LM80
 28 parts LM40
 30.2 parts LM61
 23.2 parts LM70
 
 L73 Chestnut Brown
 61.4 parts LM40
 7.6 parts LM61
 28 parts LM50
 3 parts LM80
 
 Hope it is correct! Feedback is welcome
   
 Have a nice day!
 DavidJean

 I looked up a translation for Tropfen, which means drop. Does the above code mean 100 parts white, a drop of black and a drop of central blue? How are drops measured in such a case?

				| The Glasurit color online works well for all the Volkswagen formulas, in all lines.  Just enter Volkswagen in the manufacturer, then go to the color name section and scroll through 'til you find your color. Click on the color, click on the line, click on the variation (standard,lighter, darker) and it spits out the formula in volumes based on the size of car you need.  Works well. 
 Here is what I came up with from the site for you.
 
 Kalaharibeige  L343:       LINE 22 PAINT
 MC35         208.8   grams
 M60           723.6
 M5             146.1
 M26           105.4
 M146         54.4
 A346         10.7
 
 
 
 Hope that helps?  I'm not a painter so it all looks greek to me.
 
 Gordo.

 http://color-online.glasurit.com/  Type in L440 and click on the results  you will get results for the 22 line and 68 line & select the one you want and you will get the formula.

 that would depend on what line you choose. Line 22 is a single stage so the whole thing is a single step.
