The table above is a guideline to assist restorers who need to order paint in the correct colour. Please note that occasionally there may be more han one shade of the same colour, although differences between such shades are usually small. None of the MGB records specify these shade differences and should it prove difficult to determine which is the correct shade, the best advice would be to try to match existing original paint.
