Title: L32 Dark Blue, Anyone got pics on vehicles?
Post by: Dez on October 08, 2009, 20:42:19 pm
Been looking at a colour for my Bug as after the welding has been done it will be going in for paint. I have been looking at the above colour which was apparently an Original 1951 Type 1 colour so I hope somebody has some pics :D

Thanks mate, Blimey hadn't realised! Looks lighter than I thought, I was looking for a colour a shade or two darker than Dean Kirstens '67, pretty much just off black!

That's L36 Azure Blue!

L32 is 'dark blue' but I haven't got any images to hand of it. I 'think' Rich Oakleys '48 is dark blue which was at Hessich Fabs..

It was on English plates but it's a similar colour (if not the same, I'm on my iPhone so hard to see properly!)

I did think of keeping the original Fontana but there are quite a few lookers with similar colours, but not seen many (if any) in that shade, maybe a poll is in order ;)
