You understood me!!!!

YES. The best source for paint touch up after a car has been sprayed and exposed the elements is a scanner., not the original code.

The best, most common sense way, of respraying an entire car is to obtain a catalogue of paint samples (on sample sections) and spend some time with them. Most small automobile paint shops will assist.
They do not use every catalogue every day, though these catalogs are costly. Use the samples in both shadow and light. For the expensive pearl effect (we adore them when used subtly), you must walk around the sample
in different lighting.

Good luck Rog!

Yeh! and when old ollie had robbed the royalists they decided on the wasp look! as it infers a subconscious fear of being stung. Might explain why all danger equipment, jettison handles etc are all black and yellow stipes!

Some good news. MMC came back to me and confirmed our Plus Six body paint code, it is indeed a Porsche colour... So thank you to MMC.. Just waiting to hear back for the code of the silver used on the Speedster wheels.

I went to the Morgan Factory for Breakfast and afterwards spoke to the salesmen in the showroom, i gave him my registration and he printed out a full spec of my car plus paint colour and code he was very helpful.
