QUOTE(Richard Casto @ Aug 8 2008, 04:43 PM)  Actually I did put an entry in the "notes" section about my car. It is the L63E that based upon your research should be a late model year color for "Willow Green", but the color is actually Irish Green (color matches Irish Green and COA lists Irish Green as well). I didn't change the chart, but it is more of maybe my car is another one of those anomalies. Does anyone know what process was used to stamp the paint codes on the Karmann plates? The uneven level and wide spacing suggests it might have been done by hand. If this is the case, I'd guess that Richard's plate has a typo. The two 1972 VW "L63" codes I know of are Willow Green (L63K) and Sage Green (L63H), neither of which are even remotely close in shade to Irish Green (L60E), which he states is the actual color and is reflected on the COA. Just my 2 cents. |

here is a link to the RoadGlue discussion of L63E:
http://www.roadglue.com/forum/showthread.php?t=280 Please note the color chart taken from my factory paint guide. I don't know if this is a typo or not. I don't have a complete list of VW codes, and cannot find a link to L63E anywhere. I'm sure it does exist, just what color the factory claims it to be, I don't know. |

Dave, Interesting... does that paint guide also have an entry for "L63K" (and, if so, what is the color name assigned)? |

No, that set for 1972 does not have L63K listed.
