[Datso72]

Does anyone know the name of the original shade of blue (???) on the air filter housing. I would like to repaint mine.

Thanks.

Thank you, I will be calling paint stores tomorrow.

I took my air cleaner lid to the paint store,and they scanned the inside of it. (it was clean)

then they mixed up a quart (minimum size I could get) and put part of it in a spray can.

Wasn't  spot-on but it was close.

This is a air cleaner lid off a 1974 620, and a bracket off a 1970 521 on top of it.

 

The bracket was painted with Dupont Centari, Volkswagon Chrome Blue, VW code L51K

 

I then took the lid back to the paint store, and they shaded the VW color to match the air cleaner lid.

I like Centari, but if you use activator or hardener in it, YOU MUST ABSOLUTELY BE SURE TO WEAR A RESPIRATOR WITH IT!
