I’ve a 67 Beetle and I’m pretty sure the original color is a L-620 Savannah Beige but cain’t locate the paint code in the front trunk area. I know there is supposed to be a sticker in the front trunk area but I think its missing. What about the square metal plate behind the spare tire? The numbers I see on the plate doesn’t look like any reference to exterior paint colors. Thanks for any suggestions.

Yes, here's another '67, right under the washer bottle

The VIN plate numbers are axle weights, VIN #, etc.
There is no paint or other paint/interior information on it.

Thanks but unfortunately my paper tag under the washer bottle is gone. Appreciate it.

Yes, sorry if that was confusing as I only meant to show where it was located.

If you are unsure, post some photos of the car for people to identify.
Is it repainted?
Look somewhere they may not have painted, like underneath the dashboard or up inside in the front trunk.

Thanks again for getting back to me. I took some pictures etc of the floorboard and other areas of the car and found out it was originally L-620 Savannah Beige. Appreciate the help, have a great day.
