PAINT CODES, MGA Other Than Body Colors - PT-105B

  • CONVERTIBLE TOP FRAME - Grey beige (not Tan)

    Moss Motors USA, "Tan Top Frame Paint" - 220-520
    Moss Motors UK, "Tan Top Frame Paint" - CCHP1
    RAL color standard -"Grey beige" - RAL1019
      Top frame paints should be semi-gloss or satin finish, not reflective gloss.

    International Harvester - "I-H Yellow" (used on Cub Cadet Mowers)

    Rustoleum - "School Bus Yellow" - SKU: 1643830
      Rustoleum - OSHA - Safety Yellow - 1644830

  • DASH MIRROR - General Motors 2410 M: General Motors 2410 M is close to the original color. Ford 3572 is a bit too brown and Chrysler 4666 L is too yellow. If you are careful, you can spray the Chrysler color first and then a light coat of the Ford to kill the yellow. The Chrysler 4666 is also a good match for the MG T-series mirrors and steering wheel bosses. All these colors are (maybe) available in small spray cans at auto supply stores. -- Also try Blaze Gold Metallic for a 2000 Honda.
    See PT-105M.

            MGA, & early MGB
    NOTE: Enamel is generally resistant to engine related fluids. Lacquer will commonly spot or streak or discolor when exposed to glycol based antifreeze. Some aerosol paints may be lacquer unless otherwise specified.
