Grey/white side beetle photos wanted !
Well, after convincing the better half we should use beetles for our
wedding in March, its time to get the body work sorted on my 65'. 80% sure we will paint it grey with white sides but I would love to see some
pictures before I'm 100%. I know there are members on the forum with this color scheme eg Astro's oval, but not too sure where to look !!!!!
Could you please post a photo or Link to some:thumb this would really help.
Thanks to all who can help :beer
P.S. or any other colour options you may think would be "classy/classic" for the day !

Hi Craig
I know the racing stripes and door numbers etc aren't what you are after but my bug was anthracite grey/white two tone. I'll try and find a
progree shot of before the stripes etc went on. It is a nice combo (but I am biased of course).
Alan
Congrats on the upcoming wedding (and on the big tv debut a while back as well).

The pic in VW0064's post was taken in the shade so it does look darker. Whether it actually is or not - ??
If I had the time over again I would try and get a slightly darker grey. Maybe take most of the blue out of the formula and replace it with black.
There is a beetle (in Sydney I think) with the same paint as mine was ORIGINALLY. It would be good to be able to get a colour match to that paint.

Hi Craig...here is a side view pic or two.
Colour code is L469 Anthracite grey - it does look a little olive in certain lights (especially arvo sun). Nice original colour.
