Morris Minor Owners Club

i got a few months to pick a colour but i dnt know what to pick its got to be black but which satin, matt, or gloss black any piks would be helpful

cheers tom

I voted gloss but it was a toss up between that and satin, I guess it depends on what overall style you're going for. As a side note are you doing the prep and paint yourself, if yes it's worth bearing in mind that it's easier to get a good finish from gloss as you can polish inperfections out. With matt and satin you need to have perfect prep and a perfect finish straight from the gun as it's virtually impossible to rectify mistakes later.

You could always go for the Rat look then any paint with any old brush and roller will do

im doin prep work e.g getting back to bare metal but getting a pro to spray it

I voted gloss. If you're gonna pay someone to do it, then you'll want everyone to know it!!

I'll throw a spanner in the works! Why not paint it ORANGE with grey smoked glass and black minilight wheels Just like the one you like in the picture? Now that would be sooo cool If not go for gloss black
cheers stevie

as much as i would love orange , lol dnt think i could

Keep it that same blue as your first one..but with the slots

Don't make it too perfect or you will be afraid to use it

afraid to say the slots are goin lookin at 15 inch minilights, might get slots back eventurally and i really dnt like this blue haha, and this will certainly be a used car

atcherly just decided, not getting minilights, trying to find sum 17inch alloys haha

Shame... i thought the car looked sweet the way it was.....

It's your car have it you way...i know you will enjoy it whatever style ...(Just don't go too moderen)

G..

!7" wheels - oh dear........

i do love the slots but they wornt my first choice, always wanted centerlines but cant find any ! this moggy will be keepin the mags on

17's really fill the arches and are exactly what I had in mind for mine. So do it.

u got any piks i like the look of them on heathy12's car, only reason i want them is to fill the arches

I'd have to say keep the slots as they are being remade next year so orginal ones will be getting rarer and do a colour that no one else has. Black has been done to death unfortunately Think of a colour that satands out but isn't too in your face. Something like the standard traf blue but with some pearl in it or with a metal flake clear coat. Just my opinion.

i wanted a colour that stands out but dnt think it would suit the car,and my problem is i dnt like many colours, ive never liked blue, dnt know why i baught a blue car haha and will keep the slots on this car

If you meant have i got any pics then no as the wheels are a long way down the list at the moment. However I did offer an 18 & 17 upto it and the 17 was just about right.

Here is one[frame][/frame]
