Hi,
From here :

That's for a 50-67 Bus, VW code L31, PPG 11668.

Enjoy

What paint are you using? If tis 2-Pack, link above will tell you... otherwise, I used acrylic and found that Spies-Hecker have a lot of VW formulas (Dove blue was v widely used)

Also could try PPG, Glasurit, Standox, Sikkens... one of em will know

Iam using du pont ,2 pack, i have found a code for ppg paint so i hope they can convert it.

Du pont colour lab will be able to convert it. Du Pont also own Standox and Spies Hecker, and both of those companys have paint formulas so it shouldn't be a hassle at all for the colour lab to come up with a formula, just tell them the code(L31) what style of paint you want and how much. Phone (02) 8818 4343 and ask for the colour lab. Hope this helps.
