I have a 1963 single cab - the exterior is L380 Turquoise and the interior appears to be Ivory? Would that be the same as the exterior Ivory L62? I found an aerosol for the green, any matches for the interior? Thank you.


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

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
Paul

I don't know if there is an official paint code but see this thread in the Bus section from the Bus FAQ about headlight bucket colors:
