Hi All. New on here & my 1st Morris Minor. The car been painted white, but the dash is cream. The log sheet say cream. Idone some surching & as I have a 1969 Minor, its says the car should be Snowberry White. As it as Black interior, & wheels are Dark Silver. Can anyone tell me where's best to get the paint from please.

Welcome to the forum! Snowberry white is VERY 'white' - not everyone's cup of tea. Plenty of sources on ebay - are you looking for rattle cans - or cellulose paint to spray from a gun. Most of the usual suppliers will sell you a rattle can - at a price....

Hi bmcecosse. Want to do a full respray. If Snowberry that white i'll have to rethink. The dash is a Cream, log sheet says cream. Do you know where I would find paint code on a Minor please.

Cream could be "Cream" (very heavy cream) or Old English White (magnolia)

Be fair! OEW is not 'magnolia'...... Although a 50/50 mix of Dulux Magnolia and White gloss does make a v fair match when used on wheels....

Thanks for the info, have to get rubbing down done. Thanks again.

Hi I'm pretty new here too. I grew up riding and driving a 1970 Snowberry White Traveller which had a black interior. I always considered it to be a tiny bit creamy.
But someone recently showed me the difference between the two whites side by side: the Old English looks more 'white' and makes Snowberry look like it has a slight greenness.

I think you must have that wrong way round - OEW is creamy/faint hint of pink in some light conditions. A colour that suits the Traveller particularly well. Snowberry is a very harsh white - to my eyes anyway.......

I thought it was Glacier white that was the really 'white white', snowberry a slight hint of greenness and OEW very warm and creamy...
