MG TD TF 1500 - Steering wheel hub paint

Anyone know the proper color and or the paint code for the TF steering wheel hub? Since it's such a small job, a rattle can type would be more convenient. I checked with Eastwood and they don't have it. PJ

I just found out that Moss sells Metallic Bronze instrument panel paint for the T series, would that be the color I'm looking for? PJ

I used the moss can, just finished a TD and had enough left to do the hub and dash for the TF

I have original paint on the hub and instument panel (TF) and they are very close, perhaps a tad more brown on the hub.

Cheers,
Matthew.

Well, here's some of the progress of the wheel during restoration. It was full of cracks and looked real bad. Using dental tools, I routed out the cracks and used an epoxy filler in them. I have a ways to go yet, but I'm making progress. A fair amount of detailing still has to be done before painting. Needless to say, I couldn't retain the rims natural material look. PJ

Just finished the hub. Had to redo the base as it was beat on with a hammer some time in it's past. Photos before and after. PJ
