Talk Morgan Forums Thread Like Summary - Paint Code

Has anyone with a Bentley Velvet Red colour managed to get paint touch up as the code stamped on the car doesn’t match anything and the code Williams gives the factory for the paint does not match anything either and unable to find any Bentley colour in Velvet Red, the nearest a neighbour found who works for a automotive paint company was a Lotus Velvet Red.

Update,

Been talking to Mark at MMC and the paint code stamped on the car plate is an internal paint code that only means something to the factory and the colour is not a Bentley colour but a Lotus colour and the code that Williams give the factory is an ICI colour code which still does not come up on any searches and the only Lotus code there is for Velvet Red is C163 so just ordered some of that.

Nothing is easy with a Morgan.

There is a connection. In Germany it is called Indian red because the uniforms of the British Guards in India were this color. That's how I learned it.
