Hi All
I know there was somebody out there looking for the paint codes to paint
there MGA Chariot Red (which I reckon is the nicest, but the again I would
be bias!!!!!) so I checked the codes for this colour in the copy of "The
Original MGA" by Anders Clausager here they are:-
BMC - RD.16
Glasso - 5758
ICI - 3344
Gipgloss - 21521
Dockers - CHR104
Ditzler - 71420
Rinshed-Mason - 9015R
Good luck!

Doug,
I think moss motors catalog has a paint chart in it that gives the factory
colors available during each model year and mix codes. I've been off their
mailing list for a while and can't find an old catalog their number is 1
800-moss-usa, give them a call. id you get the mix for the color you want
then you can shop around for a good paint shop close to you. I have never
had a car painted, mine is in desperate need, but those i know that have
will testify that the preparation is probably 80% of the job if you want a
good final product.
Good luck, if I find the catalog I will verify that the paint codes are
there and post to you
What year is your car?
