  1. Does any one on here know, from looking at my picture if this a standard type of orange?

    If not how can I get some cans made up so I can do some touch ups!

    It's a long shot but I've got a big dent from a head on collision with a pheasant on the A14 lol

  2. you beat me to it by 6 minutes - been to halfrauds today as they "can match any colour for your car"..............................................................................as long as you know the colour - mines not original. they don't do a colour match service any other way so i need to find someone who can do another way. waste of a journey that was.
     
  3. Yeh sorry should have said its not original. My bad.
     
  4. if it's a vw colour could be the "zesty" orange used for GT beetles L30m Tomato red which looks more deep orange jelly?
    it changes colour in diff light and as i look out at my bug now it doesn't look as bright as your orange - but could be the light. L30m looks VERY similar to yours in the tin. :)
     
  5. if you go to a proper paint supplier they will have a whole range of colour chits for you to match it against!! :thumbsup:
     
  6. Very similar to mine , i chose vw L20c. most paint suppliers use modern paint codes that don't recognize old vw colours.
    I think Alanred7 Knows of a place that will put vw codes in a rattle can for you.
     
  7. Yeh looks very close. Nepal orange. As long as its close im not fussed. Just need to do a bit of touch up :)
