Help deciding on a color...

[Kafer_Mike]

I'm about ready to send my '69 Beetle in for paint within the next month or so, but I'm still undecided on a color. I'm wanting a VW-factory solid color and I'm leaning towards a medium blue (like Dove Blue) or green. Any suggestions or pictures would be appreciated.

I'd go to a VW dealership with a large inventory and look. The choices for 2003 Passats alone (blue & green only) include Fresco Green, Indigo Blue, Blue Anthracite, Blue Silver, Pacific Blue, and Blue Spirit.

Here's a link to an auction with Fresco Green, my personal favorite.

Here's Blue Silver.

Here's Indigo Blue.

Can't go wrong with those last two either.

Maybe I should be more specific. I'm looking for pre-'70 VW/Porsche factory colors only...

Check VW Capri blue, very cool colour from the 60's

Hi

Im pretty set on going Cliff Green, its supposed to be the same as Apple Green on the GT Beetles. Porsche also had some nice greens as well.

I've noticed that a cream color and a sor of deep blue based "ox blood" red seems to be popular as well...
