Are there any official paint colors / codes for the Spridgets? I know my '69 Sprite was repainted, probably fairly recently, but it looks like they stayed relatively faithful to the original paint color. Going over the car with a fine tooth comb, there are several small areas (and one not so small area) that need to be touched up and painted. I'd like to get as close of a match as possible.

For those who missed my pic up in the introduction section, here is a pic of the Sprite. I'm pretty sure it is faithful to the original color, as some of the parts of the car that were not painted (interior of trunk, for example) match, but you can tell it is older paint.

The Frogeye and the 100 in the background belong to the seller. He had this one as a "driver" while he was restoring the '59 Frogeye. Now that it is on the road, he no longer had a need for the '69. The 100 is a '57 and it is stunning.
 
Thanks! I'm pretty sure that at least in 1969 AH used the same paint codes as MG since they were assembled in the same factory. My Sprite is "Mineral Blue".
 
BTW, welcome!
