What is this colour?
Schmoburger - July 8th, 2007 at 11:50 PM

Anybody got a name (and perhaps a colour code) for this colour?

Apparently it is a factory colour but I can't say I've exactly seen it rolling on too many rides. :duh

Cheers

It's a 1964ish. :smirk:

How can it be blue when the car is clearly a purple/pink colour? :dork:

Cheers

I'm pretty certain there was never a lilac factory colour. It looks like the sort of colour that was popular in the uk during the early 90's when pastel ruled :o

Heres a couple of good sites for paint codes

^ Yeh Shane what she said... :smilegrin:

Thanks for confirming my suspicions Dave... I personally couldnt see VW ever releasing a vehicle in that color... it's just not sensible enough!:duh:rolleyes:

And just for the record I believe I'm gonna get spanked for my spelling of color :alien

CHeers!

i dunno the charade in the background looks fairly white :duh


bugbum - July 13th, 2007 at 02:39 PM

It could be white or Zenith blue.

Mine's Zenith Blue but under some lights it looks a really bright white.


Menangler - July 13th, 2007 at 07:32 PM

It's not black thats for sure


Notch Nut - July 13th, 2007 at 10:46 PM

Probably is a light shade of pink. I initially thought that it was the light/camera that gave the impression of the pink colour but if you look at the rims on the car they are white. I am a bit suspicious with the reg plate having pink lettering.
What state is it regd. in?
My guess is that it is pink and it's a non factory colour.
God only knows how it managed to survive the 80's that colour without a roof chop and a whale tail.:puke

well the owner says its pink and it has custom pink plates that come with it
typical botcho respray the dash is still white but the insides of the doors have been painted that discusting purple

I agree that the colour tone of the photo is off and the car is pink.

As for it being discusting.... who are you? the colour police!

I had to get my acrilic paint mixed from an Audi (or maybe a Porsche) catalog.

Not sure if you are refering to my post, but....I don't mind the colour. Not my thing but I was refering to the whale tail and bodgy chop top that was the in thing during the 80's. Oh the humanity! So many good bugs gave up their lives for a few years of being part of a "fad". These poor critters survived the 70's when it was "cool" to fit a Fibreglass kit to the front of the car to make it look like a Rolls Royce or 1930's Ford coupe.
Why????

Beautiful colour. We just painted our bathroom a very similar colour called 'mauve pink'


vw54 - July 17th, 2007 at 07:08 AM
