MGB Touch Up Paint
In 1928, the company had grown sufficiently to warrant a new plant with its own production line and a business identity completely dissociated with Morris Motors. The company was now known as the M.G. Car Company Limited from March of that year. The development went on until 1929 where the business settled for a spacious plant in Abingdon, Oxfordshire, until the year 1980.
In 1935 the M.G. Car Company Limited, still owned by William Morris, was sold to Morris Motors which was owned by the Nuffield Organization. This change in management opened up a new venture into racing. Then, in 1952, Morris Motors Limited and the Austin Motor Company Limited merged under the British Motor Corporation Limited banner. No longer then ten years later, the MGB model was launched in 1962 with roaring success. The modern lines and attention to details made it a very pleasant ride.
When BMC took over Jaguar in 1966 it changed its name to British Motor Holdings, then it joined Leyland Motor Corporation in 1968. Around the time where the Energy Crisis hit, British Leyland was partially nationalized in order to save the business. In order to cut costs it was decided by the management to close down the Abingdon factory in 1980 where the last MG model produced was the MGB. Along with the plant, the brand name was put to rest for a few years.
The brand name continued to move around until it landed in the hands of BMW, which revived it in 1995 with a new MG model, the MG F. The name was once again passed on to British hands in 2000 to form the MG Rover Group. Car production stopped in 2005 when the company had financial difficulties. The MG Rover Group was pickup by the Chinese Nianjin Automobile Group and given back its name of MG Motors. After 16 years, in 2011 the first new MG model came into the market in China, UK, Chile, Colombia and Costa Rica.

What tools do I need for a MGB touch up paint job?
To create the best looking coat for your vehicle, we recommend the following:
PRIMER, COLOR, AND CLEARCOAT - It goes without saying that you need paint to do a touch up paint job. Clearcoat provides a thin protective layer for your paint job while Primer is required for damage that has reached the original base material.
WAX AND GREASE REMOVER CLOTH - The wax and grease remover cloth is used to remove wax, grease, and contaminants before painting.
SANDPAPER - Wet-sanding the affected area removes rust and prepares the surface with a rough finish so the paint can stick better.
POLISHING COMPOUND - The polishing compound smooths everything out with a factory-grade finish.
These tools are all available with our Platinum kit but can be purchased separately on the TouchUpDirect website.
