older VW paint charts

[VW VR6]

Finded at another forum, maybe helpful for some vw owners:

The following paint names and codes were taken from Dulux paint charts. These paint charts were supplied to panel shops during the period when the cars were new, we can take no responsibility for their accuracy, they are meant for a guide only. Just to confuse the issue of paint codes, from 1974 on these charts included VW Passats and 1976 Golfs. Golfs and Passats were at first assembled in Australia, later on they were fully imported. Also Audi colours are included as well. The colour swatches are scanned from original Balm Duco samples, the colours may vary between computers but may be useful as a guide
