Does anyone have the book "The Volkswagen Beetle Vintage, Restored, Customised and New" by Nigel Grimshaw?? If you do go to page 20 and tell me the colour...it's the one I want...They neglected to say what colour it is....it's a 58 with a black Ragtop....it goes well......:kiss

Sorry...I had to ask....seeings how you're all here talking colour:thumb

i needed a paint colour so i took of my petrol flap (which you cannot do because it is not painted) and just tell the dude at the auto paint shop what type of car and what year and you can look through a stack of sheets with different vw colours so you can compare and choose. Auto west in penrith were very helpful if you live near there.
