No help on the color match but:
The interior should be Green too, if it was original.

Here's another paint code for you. This is for L345 Light Grau (Light Gray) as matched by the Sherwin-Williams Automotive guys in Albuquerque. This color should be in their system now.
This is a single stage paint, based on Dimension Hp SS
Recipe is for 2 quarts, so scale accordingly. All masses are in grams.

I ended up going locally and having the spray can mixed/made.
I'm still interested if someone knows an equivalent to L91.

I asked this in the Ghia section too.
Cardinal Red L354 - PPG Mixing Code/formula.
I need the PPG formula to have a small amount made. It's for a very small project. |

Hey. In my '71 Bus, the dash has a gray paint hiding underneath the rubber/vinyl/padding, but it doesn't match the only gray (L345 light gray) offered in that year. Does anyone know what it could be? It has never been painted, and like i said, is the same color underneath the bits that are peeling away.
Apologies if this is not the place to ask... |

Does anyone happen to know the paint code or mixture for
Branco (aka White) Alaska?
I have a 1980 Brasilia and I was told this was the only white they used for that year. Any assistance would be appreciated! |

| IN the paint codes by year, for example, L 63 K (43). What is the K(43)? And under the interior colors, 55 Leatherbeige 71. What is the 71? |

Hi guys
I have had a search on here but not sure of the wording you guys over the pond would use. I am looking for the paint code for the inside rims of the head lights that hold the sealed beam unit. It looks like a matt/sandy grey colour. Mine is a 1965 Kombi SO33 and well rusty!
cheers
