[Healeys] paint

[Randy Dickson]

Speaking of Healey engine paint does anyone know if the Aussies used the same color on the Morris engines that went into the Mini Cooper knock-down-kits assembled in Australia in the 1960s?  I have both Healeys and Minis and from pics and a few engine parts that I have seen the engine paint hue and chroma looks very close to Healey engine green.

Hello,

I have used the POR Austin Healey Green. A picture of the SKU number is attached. It is an excellent product but the shade of green is slightly darker than other Healey Green I have seen.

Regards,

Harold

Their color chip looks like Morris green, but I haven't purchased it.  Bill Hirsch makes a high-quality engine enamel that is spot on for big Healey engine green: http://www.hirschauto.com/ENGINE-ENAMEL/productinfo/EE-QUART/ASTN%20HLY%20G/

Hi Jim,
POR used to make the light metallic green Healey engine paint, I used it on my 3000 20 years ago. I tried to buy some recently, but the Australian distributor said it was discontinued. I'm unsure whether he meant they didn't import it, or POR stopped making it.
But POR did make a light metallic green engine paint 20 years ago
Best
