Hi all -
I have a '74 Bay that has been repainted, but appears to have been done with "real" VW colors. I believe the bottom is Kansas Beige, but not sure of the actual white color on top. Here's a link to a pic: https://imgur.com/YMbQIWp (for some reason I can't get the gallery here to work). Any ideas on how to ID? I'm trying to order a color matched paint kit to do some touch up work.

Thank you

Ivory is the ambulance color, I suspect it's Ceylon beige, the roof sure looks like Pastel white. No paint codes on the M plate?

Of course I know the answer, but for our wider audience could you describe where to find the M plate please?

On a 74 it should be riveted to the bulkhead behind the LF seat, you'll likely have to move the seat forward to see it, it's painted body color.

Once you find it plug it in to one of the decoders and see what your bus was born with:
