Volkswagen Paint Chips and Mixing Formulas

KGCNA extends a hearty Thank You to Sean Strel, of San Rafael, CA, for providing this document to us. He is not a KGCNA member, nor is he even online - he just wanted to help the VW community. Thanks Sean!

KGCNA also extends a hearty Thank You to Gilbert Chan, who worked to reformat this page to make it much easier to use. You can thank him yourself if you choose; Send mail to Gilbert Chan. Visit Gilbers Page.

This manual is an original, dated March, 1959. It had updates added in at least two different eras - perhaps more frequently, we do not know. We do know that there was an update in mid to late '60s - exact date unknown - and another in the early '70s. Unhappily, many of the '70s update pages were lost just recenltly, and we have only been able to include 5 such pages of perhaps twenty or so original pages.

Please note that if any of you have additional reference materials, the entire online VW community would be grateful if you would please help us put them online. Please email us... You can follow the links above to find out all about KGCNA and our webmaster.

Introduction

Reference: Model numbers, paint formulas, and introduction dates

(No color samples here, only paint listing. For color samples, proceed to the Paint Section)

These reference pages contain information useful to determine when paints were first used, and on what models. Note that update pages start in the "Paints" section below with page 17. At that time, this same information was put on the back of the chip page to which it refers, so taking a look there might also be helpful.
