Your paint color is Tiaga Green. You can get a small (5 oz.) spray can of this paint (now renamed Sage Green, but the exact same color), VW Stock # L63H, for about $10 from any VW dealer. Mine can get it for me in about 3 days notice. Also, I have been told that a full sized spray can sold through industrial equipment suppliers by Clarke Lift Systems for touching up their lift trucks is the same color, only cheaper. I saw it on a bus and it matched, but when I bought a can and tried it myself the can I got was definately a different (yellower) shade. For those who have a Chrome Yellow camper, the Plasti-Kote color School Bus Yellow (stock #1116), sold at Pep Boys and other FLAPS, is a virtually identical match. Ron Salmon '85 Westy '63 Deluxe (painted with spray cans, by the P.O.) '77 Westy FOR SALE (Not painted with spray cans) '67 Deluxe hardtop FOR SALE (Also parting out 3 '75-78 Busses/Campers - yes, a shameless plug.)
