Well was thinking MANgo green - but not sure what the PPG base mix code is - then sticking in some metallic. Also like the metallic green that Holden did this year, but not sure it's a current colour....if anyone knows what it was called let me know.

The other colour here is Anthracite Grey, which is a Holden Gunmetal. Plus lot of House of Kolour Candy's (depending how much I can afford). The back will have some more detail in it. The cab will be a custom paint to look like a Panzer....sort of thing, rivets, rust and welds.nn[ Edited on 22-8-2005 by crewcabconnection ]

The holden colour is called "Hothouse". I just painted my 77 in ford "envy" the new gt colour. Looks fantastic in the sun, has heaps of gold pearl in it. I'll post photos when she's finished.

Wow... that Kombi will look shweeeet! :thumb Hothouse Green is the Holden colour. I've seen a couple of Beetles painted in it and it definitely works for VWs!

thanks for the tip, couldn't find it on the Holden site. Hoping to grab a litre of the stuff this week and paint up the 'ol Beetle decklid (again), to see how the colours work. Easier to tryout on that, than work on the bus until I'm sure.


Repaired the 'vents' in the dash tonight, some moron had wedged something between two of them so we're bent out of shape. Nothing beats getting your back out of shape, bashing yer noggin etc., crawling in the front of a splitter, they look simple until you have to wet and dry 'em, all nooks and crannys...........thanks again.
