Q & A: Paint Suppliers

John,

Thanks again to you and your staff for the technical seminar. What a great winter break--some MG'ing/ good comraderie. What more could you ask for in February!

I talked to Lisa about what I had found in the area of painting systems and she suggested I cover you with the specifics for you files...

It started when I was told the New Racing Green (BLVC25) was not available in base coat/clear coat by the major US manufacturers. That got me looking around since my B was previously painted New Racing Green and I wanted to repeat the color. I found ICI--can't remember if it's Imperial Chemical Industries or Imperial Coating Industries, but was told that they are a British firm and that they were the paint supplier to MG as well as most other British automotive manufactures. They had what I was looking for and told me they could provide virtually any color used by MG.

Their "North American Headquarters" is located in Westlake, Ohio, a Cleveland suburb and their customer service rep is Jim Skal at 1-800-647-6050. The closest distributor to me and probably you also is an outfit called Single Source in Troy, Michigan. Their technical man is named Brian and he can be reached at (248)616-3403.

Don't know if this is new to you but thought you'd want to know if it is.

Thanks again.
