I am in the process of having my 1967 beetle restored. Like most people, everything was going nicely until I was asked what paint colour did I want. After much reading of mags, visiting VW club websites and talking to friends, I decided on Aquarius Blue, which was one of two colours used on the last Beetle (Ultimate Sedan) produced in Mexico. My problem now is how to replicate the colour. I have tried contacting VW Mexico and VW Aust but no success. Does anyone have any info re this colour or can recommend someone who might know. Any assistance would be much appreciated. Photo of my car as I purchased it is attached, hopefully!

Looks pretty close to Zenith Blue from 1966 n 67 on a Beetle, have a look at that colour its really nice when done in 2Pak.
I read it on FACEBOOK so it must be true
