Pictures of L140 red/brown primer?

[Who.Me?]

Hi

I tried asking this in the paint and body forum a few weeks ago but it got no answers, so I'm trying it here on case any bus owners know...


I'm looking for a picture that definitely shows L140 red/brown primer. Does anyone have one? And does anyone know the equivalent colour in any of the modern paint systems?

I'm trying to work out if that's what the brown primer is on my '56 single cab.

E.g. on the heater tube here...

Those pictures were taken after I'd, dealt with some surface rust with phosphoric acid, then applied a clear underbody wax to protect it.

I want to colour match this when I repair the cab floor sides and battery tray.

Thanks

Looking for info on my truck's history. Are you from Campbell California or nearby. Do you recognise it? ... http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=636786

I have seen red oxide primer on Wolfsburg buses.

Here's my Jan 56 westy's headlight bucket:
two colours of red, then grey, then Dove Blue:

Here is red oxide on Greg's July 55 Westfalia:

Here is a June 55 SC we used to have, 20- 132 xxx

(when we got it it looked like this: )

I am not familiar with the brown primer you show.

Looking again at the pics.

The Jan 56 has bright red, brown red, then light grey, then dove blue.
The July 55 I think I see just the brighter red, then dark grey, then light grey then dove blue.
I cant see much detail in the primer of the 55 SC, which I no longer have.

Your truck has the brown red, then dove blue? no bright red? no grey?

The 55 is not nearby, but I can get a better pic of the Jan 56.
