deep blue pearl. Modern day VW colour and the signature colour on the R models!

Steer clear of metallics and pearls. Nice solid period colour.

I agree Type 3's rarely look good in metallic. Orange,yellow or light blue maybe .SuperOwen wrote:Steer clear of metallics and pearls. Nice solid period colour.

absolute, stay with a solid colour such as orange, mid blue such as the early beetle fender on the AVD banner.SuperOwen wrote:Steer clear of metallics and pearls. Nice solid period colour.

How many sets of lights does it take a $229k Carrera S to learn? 😂 UPDATE: Cayman S, M3, B4 now added to the list.

There are as many answers as people answering or colours of paint.
Your choice.
Depends on style of car.

I very much want it to be period style. No metallics or pearls unless very tasteful.
Is there somewhere where i could view the stock colours of the type 3?

C'mon kids gather round,
there's a new sensation hitting town,
It's moving straight, low to the ground,
it'll pick you up when your feeling down.

You should go Elm Green, a standard Type 3 color in the post 1970 models. It's a beautiful color, and one that I would have gone for if I had completed my restoration of my 1970 Fasty.
Elm Green's color code is L 60 D (09) elm green.
See http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/paintcodest3.php for more details.
thanks,
Andrew

Ive seen this green before on a fasty and i loved it! I am seriously considering it!
And thanks for the colour chart. There is a 99% chance i will paint her a stock colour!
I think i might jump on slecta.

Realistically, though - if you are looking to sell your resto later, you'll want to pick one of the easier colors to sell. Green suits only a few folks. It's a keeper, you should do whatever you think is good, even if's ultraviolet.
Most popular colors in the 1970's were Pearl White (urgh - the color of my fasty), Texas / Manila Yellow, Henna Red / Brilliant Orange, and Diamond / Marina / Bermuda Blue. I rarely if ever see green Fasties at shows. Mostly Birch Green if it all. Birch Green is such a 60's color in my opinion.
However, it's up to you!
thanks
Andrew

HAHAHA....I said orange as a joke (seeing as you are selling an orange one)....
....and look how many people agree with me!!! 😂
seriously though mate....as has already been said, IMHO a solid colour is the way to go, as long as you like it, that is all that matters!!
So, when do we see pics of the new Fasty mate??

I should mention that it had red trim and seats, so it would have to match that also which makes it all the more fun.
OG colour is a white, but ive just never been a fan on fastys?

Yeah the Samba's colour charts are interesting, but don't apply to VWs sold in Australia. Remember that our VWs of the 1960s and early-mid 1970s did not come from Germany - they were made in Melbourne. Our colours were a bit different - and even included some Nissan and Volvo colours.
A list of Australian VW paint colour codes can be found here : http://www.clubvw.org.au/colour_identification.htm but there are no colour chips to see what they look like...
