I have a new valance to fit on the Mog.
I thought I would just be able to call at Halfords and get some paint mixed, but they don't have any Morgan colour codes.
And don't recognise the colours stated in my handbook : White Hall White - wing SR077.04 Burgundy.
I've seen other Morgan's in these colours and wondered if anyone knows where they originate from.
Maybe another manufacturers colour under a different name?

I am sure Dean will comment but a motor factor / good paint supplier has a hand held device he can test the actual colour with & mix you up the right stuff.
I expect Halfords won't do that.

Maybe another manufacturers colour under a different name? If you call the factory they will give you the International Paint code ( thats their supplier) over the phone.Then a refinisher should be able to mix to that.
