Gunyah Grey 7883

Hi dubbers,

Im chasing info/pics of 'Gunyah grey' bugs and the paint code/mix OR a close match that is available from another marque.

So far have found one pic, but not 100% sure its Gunyah and a formula>
White 89
Carbon black 8
Ferrite yellow 2
Red oxide 1



Much appreciated- W🙂

My first Beetle was Gunyah grey - bought it new in January, 1960. Around mid 1960, VW made quite a few changes, including the paint colours, and Gunyah grey was dropped. The paint itself was changed from lacquer to baked enamel, also.

hmmm nice
my 54 orig came in either that gray or a similar one
I have og paint on the og deck lid I have wrapped in cotton wool to match for a paint job later one day.. 🙄
if it's the same can someone let us know pls
