MG car paint

We make special effect paints for the automotive world and we can also provide all the colour codes for other European cars and, in this case, the colour codes for MG cars. Thanks to our colourist who works with a complete colour system for manufacturer bodywork paints.

The paints of the MG brand are produced with precision according to formulas stored in our regularly updated database.

The order is placed on the website and the parcel with the paint is sent within 24 hours :
If you order your MG colour code paint today before 3 p.m., you will receive it tomorrow.
To order the MG manufacturer's tint, it's very simple and very quick :
• Go to the product page below entitled 1K basecoat
• Choose the format that suits you (from 250 ml to 2L, or in a 400ml spray)
• Click on “basket”, Choose the shipping method, home delivery or parcel relay

The manufacturer's paints we offer are solvent-based formulas. They allow faster drying, much easier application and no runs. They are expected to have significantly better durability compared to water-based paints.

2K paints, which are two-component polyurethane finishes, are available only for opaque or older colours that do not include pearlescent or metallic pigments.

The car colour codes of MG

If you are a private applicator and wish to repair the paintwork on your MG vehicle yourself following an impact or scratch, know that it is possible to achieve a result equivalent to work done by a professional bodywork specialist.

We invite you to take the necessary time - generally no more than 5 to 10 minutes - to carefully read and fully understand the product page. If you have any questions, our technical department is available to assist and advise you to ensure the success of your project.

Here is a summary of how to apply your MG colour code paint :
In general, these are modern colours, and therefore metallic or pearlescent paints. For this type of MG paint, you simply need to apply very thin coats, either with a paint gun or an aerosol, until the surface is fully covered.

The paint should be applied smoothly and evenly, using left-to-right movements. The interval between each coat is mainly determined by the fineness or thickness of the layers and also by the ambient temperature. It is strongly recommended to apply your MG colour code paint between 15 and 25 degrees. When the temperature is too low, the paint does not dry and may run. When the temperature is too high, the paint may dry mid-air and cause a “powdery” effect.

Like all single-component paints, which today account for more than 95% of MG manufacturer colours, it is imperative to apply a Topcoat after painting. It is this two-component Topcoat, glossy  and resistant, that will protect your MG paintwork from abrasion, rain, fuel, and more.

The history of the manufacturer MG

MG is a car manufacturer originally from Great Britain, founded in 1920. This English brand became renowned for its passion and success in numerous motor races.
MG is known for its coupé-style sports cars and two-seater vehicles, with high-performance engines whose capacity does not exceed 3 Litres.
The Founder of MG Motors started as a mechanic and dealer. He used to modify branded  vehicles - essentially performing customisation - then added his own MG plate to the modified vehicles.
After the sale of the company in 1935, the British manufacturer changed hands several times. Since 2007, MG has been owned by a Chinese car manufacturer.

Where to find the colour code of your MG car ?

You can contact your local dealer to request information about your vehicle's paint. It may be necessary to bring the vehicle in so they can identify the colour.
More easily, it is possible to find the reference for this automotive colour not by checking the vehicle registration documents, but rather by looking at specific locations on the bodywork :
For MINI brand vehicles, the plate mentioning the colour code (VIN plate) is located :
- Inside the front bonnet.

You can refer to the images provided below, which illustrate the location. The colour code always consists of three characters (letters or numbers).

Question : how long can I store my solvent-based paints in cans ?
In theory, 1 year - but in practice, several years if the lid is tightly closed.

The iconic colours of MG cars

MG may be a small brand, but it has compiled a large database for all the colours produced since its creation. Our database includes MG colour codes dating back to 1960.
These are refined and carefully crafted colours, sometimes in the form of multi-layer paintwork (tri-coat systems).
Here are a few examples of colour references from our database.

MG colour code - colour name - years of production

109 VIBRANT ORANGE MG 2008 - 2012
110 INTENSE BLUE MG 2008 - 2010
111 SCORCHED RED MG 2008 - 2010
291 OCEANA BLUE MG 2009 - 2012
A3 GLAZE RED MG 2019

In general, MG codes follow the format shown above. If you notice that your reference includes 4 or 5 characters, it probably doesn't correspond to an official colour. Contact us if in doubt.
