I am in the throws of restoring a Sea Blue(color 360) and need some suggestions on carpet color. I have been searching high and low and can not find what color would have been appropiate. I am the 2nd owner and have had it for ~32 years. It orginally had rubber mats in the front but they had been long since replaced long ago and I put in black econmy carpet set. Now I want to make it look a bit more as it wopuld have rolloung out of the factory. The seats are off white or cream as well as all the knobs on the dash. I have been looking at oatmeal or salt and pepper. What should it have and what have you done on yours to make it look good?
The correct color would be T317 -lava for the sea blue 66 beetle left hand drive. The absolute closest color is the VW Charcoal color. Example at TMI interiors color code #607
Hope this helps!
I just finished a resto on a Silver 1960, the OG carpet that was long deteriorated was T109 Anthrocite. But the customer chose Oatmeal loop super premium from TMI. Looked very classy! I will try to post some pictures soon...
