Morris Minor Owners Club

my traveller is trafalger blue. what colour should the wheels be.
i have the hub caps for it but he wheels are quite rough,

i'm going to wire brush them with my angle grinder and then spray them up whats the best paint to use.

i'd prefer to use celly or a normal can out of a shop i don't like and have never used 2 pack and wouldn't know how to use it either.

also i'm picking up another traveller which is a grey colour what colour is this????????

thanks

What year are they?

the trafalger blue is 1970 and the other one is roughly the same age i think its a G reg

1970 and 1969 then

ok:
Dark Silver for both

and whats the best type of paint to use can i can normal paint or has it got to be special hard type

They shouldn't flex, so any normal paint you can buy from the shops really.

Make sure they are very clean though before you start, and primer first

ok thanks for that.

i don't suppose you or anyone knows of the paint colour code from prob somewhere like halfords

thanks again

I have just had the first of my wheels sand blasted and powder coated for the princely sum of £22. The colour is a close match to the original Old English White. It looks as new! It was a trader local to me near Blackpool, so if anyone wants details, please PM me.

From June 1970 on the Travellers only, the wheels were painted in
Light Silver as opposed to Dark Silver.

Hi there, I have a 1959 Morris Minor Ute with a wooden deck, I see alot of Morris' have painted wheels and they look really nice, My truck doesn't have any paint on the wheels but should it? And what colour do you guys suggest? Cheers

You'll find a lot of info on here:

Just for future reference - is there anyone in the Coventry area that does sand blasting and coating?

My Trav was first registered 11/06/1970 - so should the wheels be dark silver or light? (for the last 15-20 years they have been white!)

Dont know about the silver but Rover Arum White is the same as Old English White and many owners prefer it to the silver on the later cars.

gpo and po vans are easy, thay are black
