L469 Anthracite
 A good manner of retrieving the original tint is looking in hidden or blind places of the car, under the clothes, inside the front lid.


L54 Poppy red
Convertibles only for 63-64

Glasurit, the furnisher of VWaG is able to give you the exact formula of your paint's car with a fragment of paint taken away from the shell.


L519 Bahama Blue

This formula will be easily rebuilt by a specialist, you should keep an existing reference, this may help if you have a dent on your freshly restored car, some have bitten the dust trying to find twice in a life the extraordinary peppermint green they had created without writing the exact proportions of the components of the painting formula.

The original charts from VW are avaibles in old documentations, or on the Internet.


L10018 Brunswick Blue
Convertibles only for 63-64

They can give people precise indications about the tints for every detail of the car, from the running boards to the steering wheel, and every time you'll find a code which will help you to get the exact material or color .
L518 Java Green

I'd like to finish by a note of poetry, I  don't know who was responsible in Wolfsburg of the naming of color codes, but some of them are very poetic, Yukon yellow, Fontana grey, Coral red, Beryl green, Indiana red; it's a real evocation of what the car should look once it's finished.


L572 Panama Beige
