Hi guys
I am looking for a orignal exterior colour scheme of the 1975-1976 beetle range.
Do any one of you guys know what was the original colours? Because I want to spray my 1976 Beetle an original colour.
Thanks

I had a look around on The Samba and they dont list 75 76 Beetles. And even if they did, I am not sure SA Beetles would've neccesarily be painted according to 'code'. Sorry. Best of luck.

SA-built VWs did not use the same colours as German, any year.
I have yet to see any dealer material with examples of SA colours. If anyone has any local col,our swatches, any year, any model, please post scans here.
Or, better yet, sell them to me!
