Looking at painting my Bug in the next few weeks

Seen a couple of colours i like, both listed on the Samba within the Original colours (within America anyways)

Gulf Blue - L 390

Sea Blue - L 360

Just wondering if these are colour codes that can be used "today" and not just manufacturer codes, if not, does anybody know the correct colour codes? I want to get some samples made up before deciding

Any1 that has also used either of these colours, i would love to see some pics

Thanks

Any paint place can mix you up some, the same colours were used in aus.

just be aware that some of the numbers cross over to other colours.
ie mustard yellow from the 72 bugs is also a red on Subaru.

Oh alrighty, wasnt sure if they were the same colours used here

And i did notice on "Auto colour Library" that there were two Sea Blues with the same colour code but clearly different colours

Thanks
