The Austin car brand, established in 1905 by Herbert Austin, became a cornerstone of British automotive history. Known for models like the Austin Seven and the iconic Mini, Austin vehicles gained popularity for their reliability and charm. Over the years, the brand's color choices have been an integral part of their identity, with classic shades that have stood the test of time. The paint used on Austin cars has evolved significantly, reflecting changes in technology and environmental considerations. Traditionally, the painting process for these vehicles required multiple layers, including a final lacquer coat to achieve a glossy finish. This method, while effective, was time-consuming and involved materials with significant environmental impact. Enter Scooby Paints, a UK-based company that has developed a new direct gloss aerosol paint specifically for Austin cars. This innovative product eliminates the need for a final lacquer coat, significantly reducing both cost and application time. Car enthusiasts and restorers will find this especially advantageous, as it allows for quicker touch-ups and restorations without compromising on quality or appearance. Moreover, the direct gloss formula is more environmentally friendly. By cutting down on the number of layers and using fewer volatile compounds, it reduces the environmental footprint of vehicle maintenance. This makes it an ideal choice for those looking to preserve the classic appeal of their Austin while being mindful of ecological impact. Overall, Scooby Paints offers a modern solution that harmonizes with the legacy of the Austin brand.

Paint Code Location:

The paint code for an Austin car is usually found on a metal plate or sticker. Check the driver's side door jamb, under the hood on the firewall, or inside the glove box. It may be labeled as "Paint Code" or similar. If you can't find it, refer to the owner's manual or contact a dealer for help.
