Original G colors/paint codes; year specific data??
So coming from the classic watercooled VW world (I also have a '76 Rabbit w/ 58k original), there has been info gathered from VW on which paint codes were offered on which years. For example;
http://www.mk1vw.info/paint1.php
I've searched and can't find that this same information is available for the W460's. I do see Harald's wonderful compilation of colors;
http://www.4x4abc.com/G-Class/460color.html
http://www.4x4abc.com/G-Class/460color1.html
Also, RAL chart(~Euro standardization);

However, is there any data which shows which specific colors were used in each model year, or was is such that any of Harald's colors were an available option to a new W460 owner from 1979-1990?
Dai, do you have some original MBZ brochures which maybe include colors offered for a certain year?
PS--Since some of the colors on Harald's page are a bit visually different from the colors in real life(ie Agave Green), would anyone be interested in a compilation of "real life" colors to compliment Harald's color charts---like is done on the VW page? If so, I'd be happy to compile this data/pictures to act as a reference guide for future W460'ers. I think there's enough of us w/ different colors to get a good start on pictures of colors in real life.
TIA!

Ok, here's where I'm at so far with this...
Two more G color charts(if you have more please send them to me!!)
Real life G colors;
Astral Silver Metallic DB735
Carmine Red RAL3002
Agave Green DB6880
Fir Green DB6295/RAL6009
Gentian Blue DB5361/RAL5010
Lapis Blue DB932
Zinc Yellow RAL1018
I NEED YOUR HELP IN GATHERING MORE PICTURES OF REAL LIFE G COLORS. PLEASE PM ME WITH THIS INFO!!!
PS--If any of my colors or info is incorrect, please advise. I'd like to build this into a historical database of sorts for future generations. Thank you!!
