What color is my ’52 Duchess?

[Bud Hedger]

I’d like to find out if my Duchess is painted in an original color scheme. It’s tan with chocolate brown fenders and running boards. I want to match some touch up paint (without taking a fender and a door to Home Depot). Any suggestions?

Originally these were not painted. It’s gel coat.I painted mine in ignorance. The gel coat could probably have been brought back to life.

There is a thread or two in the forums.

Bud,

Your car is likely gel coat.

But I think you are asking if the car has original MG TD factory colors. The short answer is no.
