Austin All Models Touch Up Paint (35 OEM Colors)

The Color Breakdown

Austin really leaned into the classic British palette, recording 35 distinctive colors that range from the quintessentially cool British Racing Green and Island Blue to the more adventurous Fiesta Yellow. They really went for it with the names, too-where else are you going to find a car painted in Peat or Connaught Green? Whether you're touching up a Tartan Red icon or a Tweed Gray daily driver, you're working with colors that have a lot of personality.

What to Watch For

If you're hunting for your paint code, head straight for the engine bay. Look for a metal ID plate (often called the "Commission Plate") riveted to the firewall (bulkhead) or the radiator slam panel. While these colors are legendary, they are known to show their age through fading-especially the reds and greens-and you might notice the paint likes to bubble or chip around the door handles and those tight panel seams. If your paint looks a bit dull or "chalky" from years in the sun, don't worry; that's just the character of the older finish, and a fresh touch-up will adhere just fine as long as the area is clean.

Driveway Repair Tip

When you're using your touch-up brush, remember that these classic colors-especially the deeper greens and reds-require patience to get the depth just right. Instead of trying to fill a chip with one big glob, apply two or three very thin layers, allowing about 15 minutes of "tack time" between them. If you're lucky enough to be working with Mystic Blue Pearl Effect, give that bottle an extra-long 60-second shake to wake up the metallic particles before you start. It's all about thin, steady layers to keep the repair level with the rest of your Austin's history.
