Could anyone tell me the correct colour for a switch panel on a mk3 Morris 1000cc. Body colour is Damask red if that makes a difference.
Thanks
John.

I found there's a 1980s Vauxhall colour that's very close but can't remember the name.

According to the Somerford Mini site:
1969/70 switch panel with toggle switches & ignition switch = Cumulus Grey -presumably that will be GR29 & not the later BLVC194.
1970-75 switch panel with rocker switches, & no ignition switch = Silver -unfortunately i don't know which Silver.... & i also want to know (my MK3 is non-original in so many ways but i like to keep some things looking right).
EDIT: Surprisingly Damask Red is important, it means your car is a 1972 or later so the switch panel should be Silver.
Every photo i've seen of a MK3 switch panel seems to show a different colour, ranging from silver to grey-ish & more often than not rust coloured. Wondering if it was originally the same silver as used on the heater switch panel (?).

The Mk3 panels I have seen are a champaign colour.
I'll have a hunt for the paint code I used.

Sounds correct. My car is a Damask red 1973.
Thanks.

Interesting that champaign has been mentioned to me before.I can only describe mine as tarnished. Neither rusty or silver and various shades.
Thanks for everyone's help.
