Wheel paint code required
ovalbug - July 19th, 2008 at 04:35 PM

Hi all. Just need the paint code for the inner wheel section on early beetles. Thanks

I rekon it is L87 pearl white,
If you can find a supplier let me know as I need paint my rims too

Thanks for that, I thought so, can anyone else confirm this?
If it's L87 the ppg paint code is PPG 8237

Guys,
Found the following Garwood references for Ovals which may assist
1954 Chassis 1-0575415 to 0781884 Inner rim code L87 Pearl White and Seat frame L75 Light beige.

Early 1955 Chassis 1-0781885 to1-0823604 Same as above

Late 1955 Chassis 1-0823605 to 1-0929745 Same as above

Early 1956 Chassis 1-0929746 to 1173572 Inner rim was L87 Pearl white but Seat frame now L71 Beige

Late 1956 Chassis 1173573 to 1246618 Same as Early 1956 above

1957 Chassis 1246619 to 1600439 Same as both 1956 versions with L87 Pearl white inner rims and Seat frame L71 Beige

The seat frame colours as above were the same colours for the steering columnm gear shirt lever and hand brake lever.
