Morris Minor Owners Club

allo everyone,hope someone can help.
anyone know where i can get a couple of smoke grey aerosols for my 69 moggie?
i ordered some from a well known m.m parts supplier but they failed to mention that stevie wonder makes up the colours.
any help greatly appreciated.
p.s complete stevie wonder c.d collection for sale.

As you dont say which one supplied the wrong colours I hope the ones I suggest are not the one , Bull Motif and East Sussex Minor are both excellent, just one thing is the colour the correct one or is the car painted in 2 pack as this all adds to variations, for instance a lot of people are confused between Old English & Snowberry White and also if the paint is old and slightly faded it will all affect the match, of was your supplied paint just a mile out.

thanks for that kevin.maybe i`will try east sussex.dont know if "smoke grey "varied in shade through the years of manufacure or not ,but the paint i got was way out,i would say it was closer to trafalger blue.
anyone know of anywhere that mixes to match? as some diy places do with household paint if u take a swatch?
stay pleasant

i would say it was closer to trafalger blue

Ah - well in that case I think you've been unlucky. Bull Motif and East Sussex Minor are both highly recommended. I have some Traffy blue from Bull motif but haven't used it yet - so I can't comment yet on how close it is to the original colour (spent to much time polishing the Porsche but it's early sold now so I'll soon be back playing with moggies)

LMFAO!!!!!!
that cracked me up !

Leonard Brooks (Harlow) Ltd will match paint to the car (or send them the glove box lid. They supply tins and/or aerosols and must be near you! If the exterior of your car has faded it would be best to take the car to them.
