[AntonyMann]

Guys,
I would like to your help.I looking for a right/correct paint code,

According by Samba technical forum will be the code :

"L53 sealing wax red",but I do not know,what is a diffrent a "SW"red and normal red...Help me,if you Can..What is a right paint code?Greetings from Hungary..

(I think,the mentioned foto red color is little bit orange,like a normal sealing wax red)

Not exactly sure what you are asking. L53 is the paint code for Sealing Wax Red. L 456 (RED) ruby red is the other red color.

If you have a bus with Mcode plate that should tell you the color it came from the factory. If you have a bus that was earlier or missing the Mcode plate, the VW factory "Birth Certificate" should show the correct paint color/s.

I thought L53 was a bright red color because of all the (telephone) pics I saw, but in real life it is red/brown:

Here is the paint code from Kurt and his Funky 59 single cab. He went thru a lot of effort to duplicate this color 100% accurate.
