Title: Wanted: Color Code That Brad Lang Used 4 Vert Ghia
Post by: socially distorted on July 25, 2005, 03:49:02 PM

I wanted to try and find out what the color mix was that Brad Lang used on his '60 Ghia Vert he built several years ago.  I've got a Beetle that I want to paint the same color, and if it's something that would be passed along, I would love to find out the mix used on that car.

Many thanks!
Kevin

i know it was pretty close to bordeux red. thats an early split colour. brad may have mixed in a few extra shots of something special, tho. iirc, the colour of cameron shoreys beetle is similar to this aswell.

it looks extra dark on this...but you get the idea.
