Damn Skim, hell of a turn around there.

=D> Skim you may possibly be the CLR King, that is absolutely amazing work. I had to flip back and forth to see that they are the same bus. I missed MG what does that refer to? Also what was the dilution mix and did you use the brownish red 3M pads?

Last weekend went and picked up the MG bus finally and got it home. Spent the past week cleaning it up and scrubbing it down with CLR. Been putting bumpers, wheels & tires, glass back in it. Got suspension under it first so I could get it off the trailer. Just trying to piece it back together make it look like a bus again.

I think it is very unlikely that you will find a mouse gray plate that matches your actual VIN number....

I have seen an early 1962 Mouse Grey/Pearl white bus (English delivery camper conversion) with the colour stamped as SK1022A.

All of those frames are Pearl White.

Underneath the Bus?
It's grey but there will be some overspray of the lower paint color of the Bus.

Some people call it primer, here is a Thread about it

This is not the best example because it's restored but
