Hi,
It seems that all black paints are not equal, as those with a black Ruby or Box will already know? When touching up my car, it turns out that the black pigment is the same as that used in Hammerite - so I can use that! Other blacks seem to vary.
Another black Ruby I owned at one time had been repainted with a black doctored to look more elderly - I think a bit of blue had been added?
Meanwhile, there must be a standard Austin black - presumably you know it when you see it?
