Morgan All Models Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Owning a Morgan is basically like being a guardian of a hand-built British legacy. While our records show a focused palette of 4 colors-including the regal Gold and the iconic Connaught Green-don't let the short list fool you. These colors are deep, classic, and look like they belong on a country estate. Whether you have the traditional solvent-based Green or the newer Connaught Green (Waterbased Only), you're dealing with a finish that was likely applied with a level of care you just don't see on a standard assembly line.
What to Watch For
Because Morgans are a beautiful marriage of aluminum panels and traditional craftsmanship, the paint has its own personality. You'll want to keep a close eye on the front of that long, glorious bonnet; it's basically a massive target for stone chips. Also, check the areas where the wings meet the body; sometimes you'll see tiny bubbles or "soft" spots where the paint is feeling the stress of the hand-fitted panels. To find your paint code, prepare for a bit of a scavenger hunt: check under the bonnet on the suspension mounts or the inner wing. If it's not there, peek at your owner's manual-sometimes the factory workers handwritten the code right in the book.
Driveway Repair Tip
Since Morgan paint can be a bit softer than your average commuter car, your best friend is a Touch-Up Pen and a lot of patience. If you're working with Gold or a metallic shade, shake that bottle for at least two full minutes-those sparkles like to nap at the bottom. When you're filling in a chip on that aluminum skin, use the "dry brush" method: wipe almost all the paint off the tip and slowly build the color in 2-3 paper-thin layers rather than one big blob. This prevents the paint from sagging on those beautiful, curved fenders and ensures your repair stays put for years to come.
