From the other thread:

So a new complete Krylon list.

L345 Light Gray- Krylon River Rock
L345 Light Gray- Krylon Pebble Gray
L380 Turkis- Krylon [s]Jade Green[/s] Satin Jade
L82 Silver White- Krylon Dover White
L87 Pearl White- Krylon Almond
L456 Ruby Red- Krylon Cherry Red
L311 Sand Green- Krylon Ivory White / Krylon Celery
L312 Palm Green- Krylon Hosta Leaf / Krylon Camo
L360 Sea Blue 1- Krylon Regal Blue / Oxford Blue

That's what I have so far. There's been a lot of clarification over these.

The PG/SG Clarification that I have is here:

http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?p=4918056#4918056


I have just found that Krylon Ivory is a closer match to L87 Pearl White on my og paint SC than Krylon Almond. FYI

Would anyone by chance know which "new" color would match up best with the color of the 2 metal clips/latches that hold the closet in place in an early bay westy? It's some sort of grayish-tan type color. I think it's the same as the legs of a westy stool.

If I have original paint parts I just buy a close color and test it. Unfortunately I do not have a dove blue bus to test Wink

Its only $4 to find out. Try one and see if its close. Take a pic and post it here to help everybody out.

Anyone try georgia clay against some original Sealing Wax Red?

I used Jade for my RHD swap but used black primer to darken it up a little (still lighter) then clear over the jade

For anyone looking for a solution for L87 Pearl White, I am happy to report that Krylon Almond IS NOT it. Way too sandy and dark to be considered even close to pearl white. I'll try ivory tomorrow.

Here's a rare one:

Moro Brown - SL 770? Anybody know of a match?

It was used on seat frames in Java Green bugs...
