Anyone know the colour code for the lower part of my bus?

I painted it 10 years ago with (I think) VW L51N or M? 'Beat Blue'.. an original early 60's colour, but modern body shop paint computer systems are not recognising the code / name.

Any ideas anyone?

Cheers!

It doesn't look stock to me. It could be anything.
I like the GreenBugGirl plaque, though. That shows exquisite taste.

L-380 or SK1050

I had an oval painted L-380 and it looks like what you have.
