Hi Grissly,

I have used Chipex for this kind of wear and tear.
It comes as a kit to enable you to do a number of chips and knocks.
You should be able to fins the paint colour and code on the site.

I think it may be this one, but please check. You can try entering your reg as well to cross check.

Hi Grissly,

As Glenn has said Chipex is the place to go & the one I have used. Colour match is excellent & I assume your 2010 Royal Ivory is the same as my 2015 Royal Ivory but please check first!!! Colour code on my 4/4 is on the build plate under the bonnet.

+1 a great product and a good result.

Ditto, my car is a Royal Ivory and Chipex are great.

Yes - Chipex is the way to go. they have the Morgan colour codes on their website and the match is brilliant. They are helpful too.
Read the instructions you get with the kit! Its not hard to use but dries faster than you'd imagine - which will be really quick in Dubai i guess!

I have used Chipex and the colour match was very good. That said it requires real skill to get the repair level with the surrounding paint or the repair remains visible.

maybe one of the dent repair chaps using a chipex kit - this is an area where skills and experience are worth more than intelligence and effort.

You wouldn't think of it to look at my poxy old wings, spattered as they are with stone chips, cracked filler, and general nastiness, but I have got excellent results in the past with Chipex kits by adding a wet-sanding step using 1200 and 2000grit wet and dry, followed by some vigorous polishing.

As Howard says, it's flippin' difficult to get the repair level the way the instructions tell you, but add in a judicious bit of rubbing down after you've filled the chip and it becomes a lot easier to get a great looking result.

I'm searching for a recent post defining rosso corsa paint codes pre and post 1997 but without success. Can anyone point me in the right direction please?
Many thanks.
Brian

Brain,

Here is a previous thread, with a description of the paint code for Corsa/Rosso Red.
It is a perfect match for me.
