Hi!
I think youīd like to know the colours which where used as original colour?
Well, the matching colour charts can be found at:

http://www.wolfsburgwest.com/colors/colorchrt.cfm

But-itīs a VW colour code definition which can not be transfered to a RAL code 1:1.
The RAL colour system is a very limited range, every car colour is a "special" mixture with
itīs own code.
You can check the VW colour code via your local car body shop, maybe the colour is still available via Glasurit, Germany e.g...

As far as I know, lots of the "old VW codes" are not listed anymore, so sometimes itīs pretty hard to find a matching colour
as youīll have to find a matching colour based on the "real partsīs colour".

Hi,

For your chairs it would be Ral 9001 and for your tank you use Ral 7015 or Ral 7031 or Ral 7046.
I had seen those grey colours before, so I think you have a choise ...but I'm not such an "original" guy, so for me I just choose the colour grey that I like.

Good luck, Dokke
