Glasurit 22 Line?, Looking for experience or availability Options

[Van B]

Seems like this would be the best hope of replicating the nuance of my L13M Saturn yellow that was badly missed with its previous paint job. But, I can’t seem to find anyone who can source it or much less has experience with it.

Anyone out there in 914 World have experience, advice, or sourcing tips they care to pass along? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yellow914.JPG)

this topic did get me interested to know once and for all who did supply the paint to VW in Germany. it was BASF (glasurit).

original colour charts are spot on.
saturn yellow in all its correct glory. (from ratwell who photographed a glasurit chart book).



no matter what i would be getting the paint from Glasurit.
whatever the final outcome in terms of whether you can obtain 22 Line in USA,
they are going to be the supplier who can either still reproduce the original colour despite the chemical contortions to conform with eco laws or get the closest of anyone.

22 line did not arrive until 1995.
they did change the formulation from what they were using in the 70s and then the 80s.
but it was adjustments to lower the solvent content in the paint.
but the basic chemistry did not move too far.

EDIT
i am reaching far back into my memory now to the mid 80s when i was my mid 20s.
one of my bosses got a battered 911 he picked up from a sheep station in NSW.
it was repainted in glasurit. that awful mustard yellow brown color that was original.
there was some problem with the paint at that time being susceptible to chipping.
it was widespread as a problem. this may have been BASF coming to terms with the first regulation wave to lower solvent content. i think they solved the problem after that because that was the one and only time i remember some issues in relation to what was even then the most expensive paint around down here.
