so after ALOT of searching and reading I've found that some of the interior of my 52 beetle is supposed to be L278 grey-beige, but there is not original paint to go off of.
I'm trying to find a formula or something to start with for a match. I've been told it's very close to RAL 7036 platinum grey.

To complicate things there is also an L472 beige-grey, which looks very close, maybe the same. I've found the mix formula for L472, and conflicting info as to wether it's the same as L278 or different. If anyone has the VW paint chip saved or a link to one it would help. Thanks

PM Belairman he may have a code / chip / alternate for you.

L472 is not the same
