Needing more info on paint type and brand than I can seem to find. I assume it might be normally on the paint sticker of which I do not have.

I have a '66 Australian built fastback in Bahama blue.

The paint brochure for that year refers to a four stage baked enamel paint process including phosphate dipping.

Some later models have a sticker that reads "re-finish with Dulon Type E lacquer". From speaking to an older gent with a keen history in VW's he mentioned that the label was not the exact paint they used but a recommendation on what to use to blend minor repairs with.

I'm getting confused now. It appears my car has a finish that had no orange peel and looked very flat like an Acrylic lacquer that was wet sanded smooth.

Any more detailed info would be appreciated.

Thanks Old Dubber. That's great info.
