Evening all, I'm looking to give the seat tubs a lick of paint before putting the mats on. My bus is a 1980 devon, does anyone know what the interior paint code is?
Unless Devon painted the interior, then the paint will be factory. Do the "m" plate decoder thingy which will give you the OG paint and upholstery codes : http://www.vw-mplate.com/mcode.php And then try this resource for a match on the paint code: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/info/colorstype2.php
Thanks for the replies, I've checked the mplate and it gives this info Paint color9833AL - Unknown special color Interior color (doorpanels and seats)AL - Canyon Brown Leatherette The interior is white.
^^^ if you are really unsure, local paint specialists can match paint if you take the bus round to them, or take a bit of the bus in the colour you want matched. This is an easy bit to get off under the dash:
I only say this coz ours is painted in white on the inside. You wouldn't know if it wasn't for the age scratches and chips out of the white that it is actually Dakota Beige all over I have no idea yet what our white is but winged it with an arctic white & it's close.....good luck
