Colour Codes
I have done lots of searching, and I can't work out what colour code my car is. I found one post here from vw54 in which Dave said that Aussie cars
had different colours? Does anyone have any more knowledge on this subject?

interesting stuff, my VIN is 2994021, and the rego says 1960... and the car is a turquoise blue colour. so the pacific blue looks really close, but
would all this make sense?

You sure its original paint on the car?

yep, the car has been repainted... but underneath is definitely a colour very close to pacific... the car seems like a real bitsa... low fuel tank,
sprung bonnet, H rear apron, rear lights with out turn signals, no semiphores, reserve fuel switch... some old, some new? thats why the colour does
not make sense, am I right?

Hi vw54, I think the colour I am after is 1958 summer blue, but I cant read the formula. Would you be able to help? Were any other bluey grey colours
available in 58?
Thanks Steve

Hi, TYP-114 according to the paint chart that you posted, summer blue is also a 58 colour. The only reason that I am persisting with this is because
it is so close to the origional colour, and I need to find the paint formula.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

TYP-114, I cant read the paint formula for summer blue. Is it easier to read it on the original. If so can you type it out for me.
Thanks

my 61 is turquoise and i had it mixed by protec paints and it is darker than the original colour behind the spare ,have been told it looks bluer by
people ,easiest is to try and get it colour matched to a part with the original colour,as most paint places should be able to do it,i had the ruby
red on my daughters car matched closer to the red fender beading with a piece of beading about an inch long:thumb
