I wasn't aware they would actually match or duplicate a factory color. I thought it was more of a "Pick from what we got" type of deal. Nice. I like that color and I'm sure it wss the original to my newly purchased bug.


They mixed the paint themselves. He had a database from which he looked up the color recipe.

Do you remember the name of the color?


It's a factory VW color called Yukon Yellow. Factory code is L19K.


Yeah, I also thought it might be Yukon yellow, like some 1970 VWs had; I like that color a lot.

For the areas in question: take it back to Maaco and let them fix it !!!

Earl Schieb used to have only about 6 different colors, no red. They used sherwin Williams industrial paint back in the day, but since it's a franchise it's up to the owner. Yellow is not an expensive color, red is the most expensive along with metallic. Wife likes it, it's a go. Very Happy

Lol. Unfortunately not. I do have a photo of her driving it although that was before the paint.
