Do a search on the 45 tech forum. Tons of info and color code by year.

This is always a great start but lots of paint and color threads as well as
Discussions on the challenges of getting the correct hue and some sources.

Any idea what color it was to start? A peek inside the door panels or under the dash may answer

Wasn't it beige in the really old pics of it in your thread? Might be a win-win.

Like @wngrog said, pull off some trim and find the original color.

So the car was restored at one point in it's life, but it's first color was dune beige.

@Cowboy45, I am adding some pics so others can see how it transformed.

Initially dune beige, Red stripe, white camper. Typical ambulance colors in Lesotho South Africa

The restored frame off.

Then to this as it stands today

Should of thought of this! Dang it!

Looking at the pics it seems dune beige but hard to know for sure. The red stripe and white camper shell throws it off.
