I just sold this '63 walk-thru 15 window Deluxe that was originally Mouse Gray.

A while back, I had a '64 Mouse Gray Standard Micro that was from either Norway, Denmark or Italy considering it had marker lights/blinkers mounted from the factory on the upper B pillar.

I also have a '62 Westfalia that's Mouse Gray.

who! I love this mouse grey color but being here on the east coast there are none to speak to look at, I actually have a 356 conv D that I want to paint mouse grey with a taupe canvas top but I can't visualize the color because in some pics it looks a little brownish and others straight grey, any other pictures of anything this mouse grey??? would be a great help, I actually went and got a spray bomb of it made at my local paint store but believe it or not, I still can't completely tell the exact shade, all diff lights make it appear diff. I really think the only way to choose a color is having seen it on a car.

My ex-'63 in somewhat faded but original paint:

Mouse Grey Gallery search

Photos will lie though, you need to see one in person.
It will also look different when the paint is old or faded.

yea, really good point, you even have to take into consideration the fade factor, thanks for the pics. hey, if you had to describe the color what would you say, to me I see a slight brownish grey, and my friends from seeing the pics only see just grey, what do ya think/?

EverettB · Posted: Mon Mar 05, 2007 9:15 am Post subject:

I'd say just grey. It looks like primer when it's faded.

Here's another pic of my bus. 64 21 window walk thru. Mostly og paint but pretty rough. Lots of body and rust repair. Not much interior to speak of. Only have rusty front seat frames and a westy bed. I love to see any vw in its og paint. I hate to remove the og paint, however since it is rough with no interior and I'm reaching the point where I'll need to do the repairs needed. I don't have the place right now where I can tear it totaly apart and do a full resto so I'll be stuck with doing the repairs and rolling it in primer. When the time is right, it will be restored to all its original glory. Or maybe I'll cut it up into another Boxrod. Wink

OK probably to its original glory.

OK, I'm trying to pick a color to paint my 356 and I love mouse grey, on splits. I've only seen the color in pictures but depending on the lighting its tought to nail down exactly what it lookds like. I just noticed this 356 and this IS the color I want, but its not a factory porsche color, what da ya think? All you who've seen mouse grey, is this it, or really close, I love it, but again because of different lighting conditions it might look different. thanks for your help I can't figure out how to paste a link to it so here the auction # 140104382505, thankyou

It's almost imposible to tell on a computer screen but I'd say that It's pretty close. Perhaps you can try contacting the owner?

thanks, I thought so to. I contacted them but they don't know the paint code. But thats all I really wanted just some confirmation that I was seeing it as really close. Without the benefit of seeing the color in person its so hard to tell, so your opinion really helps.
