Original VW colours

Post by TravellingChick »

Tonk is going in for some TLC aka much needed welding. A full re-spray is required so I'm thinking about changing her colour all together.

Please Can anyone point me to a library of original colours so's I can get some ideas?

Cheers
Sarah

Yep! You've sold me - I love the colour. British Racing Green is a favourite colour of mine too but it didn't seem appropriate lol.

Mike, sorry I never got back to you with more pics. I think you're a bit far for me as the van is my daily driver so if the work is done local it might be a bit quicker. As it is it's likely to be a month :-(
