Bert,
Go to a real automotive paint store? When I bought scratch fix paints for
my 78 champagne edition on line, they were just listed on their
site...exactly as the color codes said.
(real answer is at the bottom)
When the bus was repainted in the original colors, nobody even blinked
twice at the colors and they matched the originals perfectly.
Hmm....something else may be going on here.
At this site:

I looked at 70-73 and saw no color of texas yellow at all. So I checked
to make sure they had the correct colors for my 78 Champagne, and they
were there. One even had the german spelling, but not the english).
Interesting....so Wolfsburg west says it is a real color.
Call around to different automotive paint stores!
Oh, here is what you want!

Dupont and others reference codes for that color.
BTW, I did sell my bus!
Cheers, dave

Volks,
I need some paint help. I’m having a 1972 SuperBeetle repainted using the
original L10B (08) Texas Yellow. I thought.
My friendly neighborhood paint show says it’s a nonexistent color, according to
their Sherwin-Williams computer. They offered
several other yellows, none a very good match. “Well, if you can get me the mix
code for Sherwin-Williams, I’ll do it. But your
VW Texas Yellow just ain’t in the computer.”
Anybody here know how to give a color code to a guy with a Sherwin-Williams
mixing rig if he can’t use the VW paint number?
