MG Midget and Sprite Technical - Paint in New Zealand??

Can anybody in New Zealand help me with finding a 1 pot red for my 63 Mk 1 midget. I am struggling to find a supplier for any original reds like Flame or Tartan or even Triumph Signal red. Every where I have tried has drawn a blank. I need 1 pot cause I bought it as a unfinished project and it is already primed in an arylic lacquer primer. Can anybody recommend a supplier, I am in Kerikeri.

Mike,
I have family in Otaki that can ask some of the MG Owners in Wellington area. I will let you know.

Here is what I have for you Mike.

The place to get MG original colours in NZ is The Paint Pot Ltd 268 Oxford Street Levin 06 368 8099 . John says they are exellent colour matchers for all original British car paint and make them in small batches.
Hope this helps.

Thanks guys, very kind of you to reply, I shall follow them all up. Isn't it great that somebody in faraway Pennsylvania can go out of his way to help someone in faraway New Zealand. Nice.

Mike,
Just like my car, NZ is very close to my heart and always willing to help out somebody if I can. With only having the MG for a short time, I can not provide much on the techanical support.
