I'm in same boat as Eric, wanting to repaint stove face. I've searched on samba and found that paint code RAL 8028 was recommended ( and pics confirm) as close match to the factory brown.

But I also seem to recall reading somewhere about a krylon rattle can colour that was a good match. Haven't found the ref yet.

I recognized the tapping sound it made as one of the sounds i hear on rough roads. I’m always trying to eliminate unnecessary rattles and vibrations. A small screw now is fitted to that location. > > Thanks for any color recommendations. > > Eric Caron > 85 GL Auto Westfalia
