MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Paint colour for hood frame(1967)

Afaik all the detachable frames are cumulus grey and the fixed ones are plain black.

Early fixed frames were also grey. They later changed to black. Mine is a late GAN4, 68/69 and it's grey.

Cumulus Grey: GR 7 if I remember correctly.

I found Cumulus Grey in the paint chart. Mine is late 68 and needs a repaint too. Would it also be Cumulus Grey because the chart indicates that colour stoped in 1966.

I have a spare frame for my '63 mk2 that I'm fairly sure has never been re-painted and it is a sort of silvery bronze colour.

all frames where cumulus grey until HAN9-77591 and GAN4-66226 december 1968 when they changed to black
