I am sure these answers could be obtained by a phone call to Stephen or
Martin Beer, the only Canadian distributor for the Mrgan car in Canada.
They are located at RR#3 Bolton, Ontario, L7E 5R9 phone(905) 857-3210.
Both are pleasent, willing to share information and their shop provides
excellent service. ( Stephen assisted me in re-soldering my rad last week
for a VERY reasonable price!

>>Hello Morgan land,
>>
>>I am getting down to painting (yea!!!!!!) and am looking for some thoughts on
>>painting the underside of the wings and rear fenders. We have chosen "Dark
>>Metalic Jade Green", a 1997 GM color, (it could be confused with some forms
>>of BRG) and will trim out with a tan interior. the question is, "should the
>>underside of the wings and rear fenders be painted black or the same as the
>>rest of the car? Comments would be welcomed.
