Working on my 69 bug and wondering what color sun visors came with the car. I found some black ones in a parts box, but mostly see white ones in cars and for sale. Was the sun visors color based on interior color ordered?

Thanks

In the ribbon above, to the right, there are owner's manuals in the "Technical" tab. This one is from a '69-

25 years ago I had a '69 Beetle "parts car" which was solid enough that I refurbed it mechanically and was able to register it. I used many parts on it which I already had, such as a pair of black vinyl door panels. I wanted to keep the interior a lighter color, so I painted them using SEM vinyl spray paint. After cleaning the panels and letting them dry thoroughly, I set them in the summer sun for a few hours to warm up. Applied 2 or 3 light coats of an "ivory" color, and they stood up well until I sold the car a year or two later. You could try such paint (bright white) and technique on your black visors.

Thanks Rome,

I guess they all came white. I'll just replace them at some point with white ones.
