Hello again

,
I have been searching the internet for Trafalgar Blue paint for my Morris Minor as it has a few patches of rust which need tending to, but all I have found is spray on Bull Motif. Does anyone know any paint suppliers that sell Trafalgar Blue paint in a can rather than spray paint?
Thank you,
Mr_Moggie

Any local auto paint supplier should be able to mix it up for you so check the yellow pages. Various companies also supply by post so hopefully someone on here will be able to recommmend one.
The paint code is BU37 but be aware that there were two different shades of trafalgar blue used so you'd be best off taking a sample of paint from your car (eg the glove box door) to a supplier and asking for paint to be mixed to match. That way you'll be guaranteed a good match!

Yes Halfords do mixed spray cans and you can buy on line from a number of companies. Good luck matching the colour!

I shall try and get round to finding a local paint supplier and bring in a sample so that they can mix the paint to suit my car's colour, and I will bear the paint code in mind, too

if you want to get paint to match the car for touch-ups then make sure it is NOT just done to the paint code.
Car paint fades over time, and these cars have had a lot of time on their hands! The aftermarket paint cans will never be a 'perfect' match, but Traffy blue can look awful if someone uses the early shade on a later car or vice versa.
If you're having a full respray, then paint done to the paint code is just what you need.
