Paint code help required please!!?
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

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
http://www.type2.com/m-codes/t2mcodes.html
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 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?
