PMG red was a terrible colour and faded really fast.... I wonder whether VW painted the vehicles at the Volkswagen Australasia factory at Clayton Victoria.
VW Australasia used Berger paints to paint VWs in their plant,

Ive just bought another 4 litres of PMG from my local spies hecker shop and the matchthey came up with for my 67 van, which was a perfect match to the paint behind the window rubbers was AUST post red, spies hecker number 38839 indent number HA5783, with 30 grams extra Magenta / litre.
Hope this helps, I also have the Illustrator file of the PMG logo itself if it is of any help.

Twobus will you have it ready for the cavalcade or not?volma

Volma,
Given a fair breeze and 24 hour days I should be there!
I have already paid for the entry fee so It would be a shame to miss out, although, I don't thinkI will be able to do the finish coat and the last of the paint detailing and I may not have the single sided roof rack made even though I obtained the correct PMG extension ladder!
I will most definatelyu be at the show and shine, even if I have to drive it down ubder cover of darkness without rego.
Cheers
