Does anyone know what the paint code for 68 & on beetle wheel is? Or a suggestion for a stock looking silver/grey colour?

68 69 used to be two tone painted wit ha white rim and black center

70 and on used to be silver

If you go to super cheap or similar you can buy a spray can of Wheel Silver Alloy it works good

The Samba has all the info. I have a Lotus White 68 so the wheels are black L041 centres with Lotus while rims. Just look up VW type 1 then year number and look at the various colour combinations you need.
