[Mgs] Time to choose a paint color

[don at napanet.net]

Paint in the original color.  You can get some blue-blocker sunglasses for your wife and problem solved.
The almost-period yellow would be pale primrose used on early MGBs.  I have an MGB in that color, and have owned two that color in the past.  If I was walking into a BMC dealer in 1967, I would not choose that color though, but probably red or blue.

Hi everyone! I’ve been monitoring the list for a while since I acquired an MGA 1500 a couple of years ago. I’ve been working on getting it on the road ever since and I’m now at the point that I have to choose the paint color. It was originally OEW. I received it in a bright white state with a fair amount of body and mechanical work required. I have been leaning toward going with the original color, but the one I must not upset says she wants it to be yellow. I know there are always those that will say that after spending all of that effort and money I should keep it original, and others that say “it’s your car - do what you want”. 

I guess I’m just looking for some ideas on how others have resolved this dilemma. (Trading the wife in is a non-starter. Anyone recommend a particular shade of yellow?)
