i just checked my paint book for 1963 and its lists Smoke Grey 6033
in 1962 they used Steel Grey 286-4759 which is slightly darker than the above colour

I used to see them when walking to school...
I thought they looked terrible,... lol
Many people swapped the bumpers and hubcaps for chromed ones...
and many fitted glove box lids too... and interior lights...
why VW didn't paint them silver????
its closer to chrome IMHO...
