So I am looking to buy touch up paint that matches this color (I am told it's MORGAN MATTE ARMY GREEN. Morgan CODE H7W7B).

The dealer i bought the car from tells me that most of the RAF edition cars in green are painted this exact color. I am wondering if there are other people in the states that have had luck matching the color with another distributor? My local paint place says he cannot match it with his scan gun. So, I am back to the drawing board. Anyone else have this color? And any luck matching it with a color easy to buy in the states? thanks in advance.

(color looks light in the sun, darker in the shade obviously)

Have you tried going to www.chipex.com and entering your details for a custom kit, I did it for mine (not your color) excellent match.

I have a 2014 +4 matte green and recently placed a new spoiler. If you click, left on the bottom photo of "latest photos" can you see it.
In my opinion, the same color as the 3-wheeler I saw here.
I had the same problem, scan apparently doesn't work on matte paint.
According to MMC my car is SPORT GREEN in matt finish code 74PC.
But could not find the morgan code at any paint manufacturer.
BASF has morgan sport green, code 823301 without morgan code.That's what I used.
It's 99.9% okay.The light is always different under the body so I can live with it.
I hope this can help.

Say Paul, yours looks a bit darker. I will try BASF though with this code.

Go to a good auto paint jobber and they can computer match. Besides, in the 9 years you have had your M3W it is not the same colour as it once was, no matter how well you store it.

I just placed an order on this site as suggested--- www.chipex.com --- and I will let you know how well the color matches. I have a few flecks around tonneau attachment and around the bonnet etc that could use some touch up. I will take pics and be the "guinea pig" for the owners of old RAF 3ws. Hold tight.

i tried the computer match and for some reason the matte color was throwing off their scan device. So I am going to plan B as per Bruce's advice above.
