Million Paint

Post by ayr41 »

I have been trying to match up the paint on my Morris Minor Million for a few small areas of the paint, I got some of the offical colour code paint but it was a poor match so I can only assume the people who did the restoration in March 1996 (Riding Restorations) made up there own. I have found a company in Cannock who have had part of the trim who can match up the paint for me but they need to know wether the paint is Cellulose or Enamel, how can I find out?, tried to find the restoration company but they don't seem to exist anymore can anyone help answer the question, many thanks for any replies ~ Stephen

If the restoration was done that far back I would have thought it would have been done in celly (not sure when 2 pack began to be used) I doubt a restorer would have used enamel. I use Jawel and they can tell if it is celly or 2 pack by looking at a shaving of paint :o . Perhaps you could send them a small sample.
