I am in need of some assistance regarding the orange sidewall tires that are on the Gulf and Super Dry Editions of the M3W.

While trying to remove a spot of glue on one of my sidewalls, I managed to smear/remove a small portion [about .5” x 2”] of the orange colored sidewall which now has the black wall showing through. It does look pretty nasty.

I contacted my dealer here in the U.S. he told me that these orange sidewalls are painted on, not molded into the rubber. He contacted the factory and asked what was used for touch up of the orange sidewalls; the response from the factory was as follows:

“Unfortunately we are unable to supply any paint or even give you the colour to try and match it. We don't prepare them here at the factory, and the guy who does them for us has refused to give us the formula to touch them up.”

I find this to be a rather interesting response being I am sure that I am not the only one who has or has had such a need to touch up one of these orange sidewalls being they are not put on in a permanent manor. What does Morgan do when they happen to scuff an orange sidewall at their facility or during their assembly process or during test drives or during transport? Do they just throw it away? I think not.

I am in need of a source to acquire a touch up paint or marker to correct my mistake.

Any help will be gratefully appreciated.

Thanks.
