Having a hard time understanding if my 63 notch even has a paint code located somewhere.
On my M-plate?
I believe its Pacific Blue L398 but don't know the volkswagen code.
Thanks

63 is Gulf Blue if it was a blue.

Pacific Blue and Gulf Blue:
Pacific Blue is typically a Ghia / Type 3 Ghia color.
Gulf Blue are the Notchbacks behind the Type 34

My notch is straight rat, so no sticker.
But thanks for that sweet ass pic of the the 2 notches and the razor!
Mine is same color like the notches, (much more rusty patina) so must be gulf blue.
L390 it is.
Thanks boys!

Also going to take a run at most staked rack.
Come on up, island life!
Van Island Show needs more type 3's!
