This is my old buggy- painted in the proper Paprika Red - which I believe was an old Karman Ghia colour - I have the paint out in the shed so will check a paint code.

Is that an ash try to the right of your steering wheel?
I have the exact same thing in one of mine. LOL

Yes I'm thinking of painting the one I'm working on the colour. It would be great to get a code.

Guys,
I have the correct colour codes at home but I am in Europe at the moment after attending the 8th VW Vintage Treffen at Bad Camberg.
I am sure I have the correct codes for the pan as well ( its the same as early Type 3 pans.)
Will complete details in a couple of weeks.

Guys,
I was given the colour mix for the CB pan as;

REF No. ACR1
010 WHITE 964.0
135 BLACK 3673.2
310 BLUEGREEN 3740.4
519 OCRE 4417.6

Thats it. I guess it makes more sense to a spray painter but it works from what I can see. KO0001 pan has been this dark grey colour.

The Savannah Beige colour for CBs is a specific colour and code for the Country Buggy. It is low sheen and the colour code is # 578-01749.

Here are the tints and settings'-

TINTER SETTING
01012 218
05440 274
05431 305
00744 356
03038 500

The Paprika Red colour is the standard colour and I have yet to find the correct codes for the dark green colour known as "dark bronze green"

Craig,
The colour of the bumpers is still the unknown. Its a much lighter grey than the pan colour but I have not yet seen a similar VW colour code. I am still looking. I will take my CB to a couple of paint shops and try and get them to do a colour match (if possible). I also think it may be a semi gloss which adds more questions

What a supreme privilege and honor it is to have your voluminous knowledge and research of CBs available to this forum.
You are THE CB MAN!!!
Deepest Regards to you, Sir.

Anymore updates on colours for the CB ?

What about the Petrol tank colour, is that the same grey as standard beetles ?
Sping plate and suspension components like the front beam, are they black ?

Maybe we could put a 'table' up for ALL the CB parts and their colours ?
