Hopefully this is an easy question for someone who knows.
My 2009 Plus 4 is "Claret Red". I want to purchase one of the little touch up paint bottles from Halfords, or similar Auto Factor. Was this exact colour used by a mainstream car manufacturer? A reference would be a big help please.

Andrew I got the paint number for my Royal ivory colour from the factory and took info into Halfords and they mixed it on the spot. It is a perfect match so hope you find this is also the case for your claret red!

Is there a colour swatch in your handbook folder - it should have the colour and code on it for matching.

I also have a +4 2010 in the best colour that Morgan used. I had trouble finding the colour but on a Factory Day got help from them.
The Colour was introduced 2006/7 as Claret Red Met
It is a Glasurit colour MR170.50 and was Morgan Colour Code 30603.
That said I have been told that because of the famous UV degradation of Red as a colour it is best to get a good paint shop with a colour analyser to match and mix the paint.
I don't know of one that mixes touch up quantities.
If anyone on here knows of one that does please let us know.
