BMC Paint colours

Post by Domo »

Hi all,

I'm looking for the correct Yellow paint colour for the steel fan blade, also does any one know the Red colour of the Morris horn push.

Many thanks Domo.

You could try contacting Car Restoration Paints .. they have helped a number of the members in the A30/A35 Owners' Club with paint questions for our cars .. most pre-BMC!

The forerunner of the Mini .. the A35 .. lots of similarities except rear wheel drive. My engine contains a lot of Mini parts now and the bodyshell some Metro brake parts!

This same question has been asked on this very forum many times. I don't know the answer off the top of my head - but look in the search facility.....

In fact I think that there is a list of the various coloyurs, such as switch panels and wheels as I recall. Alas, there's no such standard for Mk2 type silver wheels from Dunlop!

Triumph Inca Yellow is what is normally used. It is a very close match, or at least as far as I can tell from parts of some rather old fans! In the 70s it was the colour I was given by my dealership too.
