Need help finding a great pink colour for my 16 year olds 69 beetle. She is driving me mad and we only have a few days to choose colour. Can anyone help??? Have searched the web for pink beetles but arent having much luck.

Go along to the local Panel beater and spray painter they should have paint chip books in ther shops to match colours.

These list hundreds of different colours Take your pick and just remember what it is, for next time.

Sealing wax red (L53) is a pale red almost pink, and its a VW factory colour!

There's also a real wicked fusia pink/purple which is also a vw colour. Go to your painters shop and theyll show you some sample booklets.

PPG make a beautiful pink pearl called Fuschia. A little bit more expensive than standard base color.
Also check out the House of Kolor paint catalogue....awesome pearls and kandies!
