Colours of the V8

[SCP440]

Thank you, looks like I may have a long wait or possibly re think my colour choice!

As much as I agree colour is important this limits your car choice a lot. If colour is that important how about find a good car and getting it wrapped? I am suggesting this over a respray as doing the hole car would involve engine removal and there will always be somewhere that shows. With wrapping there are so many options and it protects the original paint underneath. I have seen cars done and it was that good you could not tell. I don't know what it costs but probably a lot cheaper than paint.

If you get the MG V8 Book by David Knowles it gives a breakdown of all the colours and the numbers produced

A good wrap properly done is about as expensive as a spray job. The paint has to be in ideal condition because anything wrong with it will show through the wrap. As to areas where the colour is different will be the same with a wrap as I doubt if they’ll do the engine bay or boot area although a good wrap will include door shuts hence the cost. Wrap is not always guaranteed to protect the paint after removal as this can be problematic too
