I can't give you the mix but if you contact Colin at the Finishing Touch who advertises regularly in Old Bike Mart etc he will give you the colour. He did my tank ('54 G9) about 5 years ago. He did this from his own match which I later was able to check against a part I found with a clean undamaged inside. It was spot on.

I recently received this email from a New Zealand based member (Jack Chappell):

Here is what I have used on my 1954 G9 it is supposed to be as good a match as you will get and it looks good. Malaga Red ,Austrailian Dulon, 56630960, year 1980 Reference book page 342, VW Auto Book.This is for chrome tank models.
