Just got off the phone with ASK-MINI and it looks like my boy is in the paint shop getting a fresh coat! I would assume that this is one of the earlier steps in the production process before they install everything else (motor, interior, etc). Cant wait for him to get here!

 

Mine was in paint Monday and Tuesday. Wednesday it was complete.

Ask Mini. Bet it is born already.

Good luck.

Awesome! My MINI was in the paint shop just a couple weeks ago. Now it's making its way across the ocean to the west coast. Heck, you'll probably get yours before I do considering how long it takes for west coast cars to get on a boat and make it through the Panama Canal!

Good luck!
