Volkswagen~Paint Experts

The story goes with my 61 beetle`

Is that it was sent back to volkswagen and the colour was changed or something along those lines, every inch went from the turqoise green to ruby red, under carpet, inside i mean everything.

The red had turned brown & crowsfeeting, when i got it, upon stripping, the green was underneath the red & then under the green was a red base undercoat?? the red base is bloody tough tough to remove.

Can anyone give me some expertise as if this was done & red undercoat??
thanks
Sime!

no it wasnt done

in the early years they used Red Oxide as undercoat

thanks~ the red oxide sticks bloody well~ thanks
