|
Hey Guys,
I'm trying to settle on a color for my bug that's in the finishing stages of body work. I stumbled across this image of a Bug at a meet at a friends shop.
Going through the color charts, it doesn't appear to be an original color. I'm guessing this can be a 63-66 bug?
Can anyone help me decipher what this color is called? Thanks in advance guys.

Kawfee, Lol, I agree, it is nice.
I think you might be right Everett, It just looked a little greener to me. I love that color. |

I'm late to the party but that's Turkis all day long. The sample car's a recent repaint- but L380 all the way. I have seen that color in all lights, all year round for 20 years on this car:
