Y'all have seen the race taxi before. I know that it's a custom paint job, but the article linked below says that "grey/white/orange are old VW colours". So, can anybody venture a guess as to what colors they are?

Mouse Grey and Pearl White would be my guess. The Orange is a Bay Window color.

Could it also be pearl grey L21?

The grey is probably one of the two mentioned.
If you need an L21 pearl grey formula in single stage... you can find it in my galley or a L21 forum search.

The orange might also be a 70’s Ghia color.
