Good Info. Too bad there isn't a thread like this that i've seen for the bug colors. The 72(mine) texas yellow is different than the 74 texas yellow and Im betting the paint stores wouldn't know the difference.
These bus colors will come in handy for a friend who's working on his Sage Green I do believe. |

There's a massive 10 page thread on this in the Body/Paint forum. Covers all models (as long as somebody submitted it). There's much more to TheSamba besides the Bay Window Forum.

I've been looking for a close match to L60D Elm Green.

Not under the taillights but in the center section. My bus wears many colors at the moment.  |

It is not Krylon, it is Rustoleum. I spent a long time looking and realized it's a Rustoleum color. Can you update?

Rustoleum Colonial Red seems to be an exact match for L30H.
The heater plenum is painted with Rustoleum, the area behind is original

Rustoleum Fern vs L63H (Sage Green)

I have a can of Rust-oleum Satin Eden 257418. I've never used it on a bus but it's close.
Just painted and only one coat.

| I have used both Satin Eden and Fern for touch-ups and they are very close to Sage. The Eden is almost right but it's a satin finish. I used it as a first coat and then used the Fern over it as a finish coat. Looks good enough from 5 feet away. |

I just painted the rail covers on my Chrome Yellow van/bus using Duplicolor School Bus Yellow rattle can paint found at Napa. 
It is the closest match to original that I have found in three years of searching.
It's even quite a bit closer than a can of color-matched Chrome Yellow that I spent $35 on-line.

That's pretty good! Does it look the same in the sunlight?

That's a good question...
Chloe hasn't been out of the carport since it was painted.
She's also getting a brake job, so will be in place for a few days.
