Well the linky thing worked, which is more than I could have managed :lol: Not sure on the colour thing though, I don`t think it`s a stock colour but I been wrong before. I was looking at it and thinking possibly ex military or forestry commission or that sort of thing,, but the white high top don`t really support that do it :roll:

...this colour swatch seems to show that as Carolina Green L62D...

...but I think that maybe Bali Yellow L62H is closer.

VW BALI YELLOW

VW SAGE GREEN

:)
 
The original paint colour was L391 pastel blau and then went to Orange (RAL 2000) according to the owner. Doesn't add up as L391 wasn't an EB colour neither was Ral 2000 Orange. You can see some orange coming through the green paintwork.

I think Moler might have it. Carolina green does look like a very close match to the new colour.
 
i think he's right, very close with a bit of ageing is the way i'll go. thanks
 
definitely not an earlybay colour, from memory the only 3 greens on early's were
Velvet
Delta
Elm (71 on)
