'73-'74 Orignal Marathon Blue? Options

[detoxcowboy]

Does anyone have a car painted original '73-'74 marathon blue L96M they could post? It is my cars original color though a previous owner chose to have it painted silver and there are only a few (under the gas tank ect.) spots where I can see the original color but it is in too poor of condition to get a good idea of what it really looks like. I could only find one on the internet, actually 2 but I am pretty sure the other is Alaska Blue and miss labeled. I am painting soon and do not even know if the "silver" is the real L96D silver ect. It is a huge job to tear everything off the car for a solid paint job and just want to be well informed.

I found it never u mind.....

BTW - I'm not recommending PPG paint, as there are better ones out there according to the top quality paint shops & CW's here.

Some have links to cars in colors.

I think they use Sherwin-Williams paint where you plan to take your car, from our telecon last Friday, but they can probably match to the PPG numbers at the above auto-color-library website for VW colors in 74.

Hope this helps! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif)
