The better half has just got herself a 1966 Morris Minor project which will need a full respray in the not to distant future. It is currently not the original colour, see photo! and we are after an unusual 50's/60's colour? Anyone have any suggestions? if you could reply with some pics of examples that would great  strictly no metallic paint though!  |

It's not a period colour, it's a brand new colour, but I'd go for Ford Stealth Grey. It looks like a "old" shade of grey and is non-metallic, but with a modern twist as it's very glossy.

The millionth minor was lilac, I think it's a nice colour and an original colour

Actually I quite like the colour it is now! However what about old English White with a British racing green roof?

I vote for keeping it in some shade of purple. How about BL Black Tulip?  |

I do Like Snowberry white, its a BMC colour, it has a really slight green tint to it, put a green highlight on the car, roof? and the whole car will turn a very very subtle light green

Atmo V8 Power . No slicks , No gas + No bits missing . Doing it in style.
Austin A35van, very different------- but still doing it in style, going to be a funmoble
