Choice one - if he can find a local paint code or someone to make it is Pastel Green (L11)....but that's a late 40s-early 50s Beetle one...Golde60's Bug on AVD is that colour....if not then Pampas Green, for which he does have a match in his books...no computer in this shop..lol...

The whole thing will be one colour, eveyones two-tone/tri-tone...I just want it dead simple outside, even the bumper bars the same...think that that will set off the black BRMs...but I want to get them white walled - but green walled.

Taking suggestions on the tyre combo....was thinking 195/60s on the back, skinnys on the front, like 165/60...not sure...suggestions???

At this rate...hoping to be running before Xmas....

Well the inside is painted - and pretty happy with it, it's very green! ... I was after a kind of salt water taffy green. Considering how rooted the cab was, and never doing this before...came up better than I thought...

wasn't quite prepared for how green it is.....

well this is what I was after, but the airbrushing will have to wait until I get time one day I guess. This was the "Photochop"...Pampas Green was the closest, for those that simply have to give it a name...

probably...L384 I think. Ask Steve he'd know. It's darker than yours, you might be Beryl Greeen...I thought the colour wa Pastel Green, but that turns out to be darker, more Bilpin Apple Green....so went with Pampas...was going to go with cream too, but in the end, have gone with the mono-tone look...the anti-bling...
