I need to touch up some spots on my 77 and I'm wondering if anyone could help me...
I've got the paint chart for 77 buses from here http://autocolorlibrary.com/cgi-bin/search/searchpic.pl?1977-volkswagen-pg01.jpg and I'm 99% sure the bottom half is
Riyadh Yellow but I'm wondering if the top is Pastel White or Polar White??
What do you reckon??
Or can it only be determined by something written on a plate/sticker on the car?? In which case I can go out and have a look...
Cheers
Oh yeah, forgot the pic, I always do that!!
On second look... is it Chrome Yellow??
I have yet to find an M-code plate on any bus I've got, however they should be behind the passenger seat on the bulkhead.. On this plate you will
locate all the unique info pertaining to your bus..Including paint and interior colours
As said, I've had no luck. I'd be interested to hear if you find yours..
An excellent reference site and fascinating reading is at

Apologies if you already knew all of this..
Rob
PS.. If these plates do exist (on Australian Buses) would anyone know where to find one on a crew cab?
Thanks Stenguns! Will have a look tomorrow and let you now...

I'm thinking it's Pastel white, L90D (Dulux 15521) and Chrome Yellow L20A (Dulux # unknown) or Riyad Yellow L11A (Dulux 30427)...
any ideas??!
Hi
Its not Riyard yellow.
This car is Riyard yellow

Thanks Steve, I'll go with Chrome Yellow and Pastel White...
Give Boris a ring at Vintage in Sydney, 02-9789-1777 he has a microbus exactly the same colour.
Thanks for that VW54, by the time I spoke to Boris my mate had already bought and painted it Chrome Yellow - it's down low so it's not noticeable
and better than rust...
Boris reckons his is Marino Yellow bottom and Polar white top which confuses me even more because Andy from Brisbane's 77 is red on the bottom but
pastel white on top...
Does anyone know where the paint code is marked anywhere on a 77?
