I'm looking to get the paint code numbers for the Cooper and Cooper S. I want to do some color matching for a project I'm working on and I need to make sure I have that I get it right.

Thanks -

 

badsmini,
i work for paint mfg company...which color code are you looking for?
maybe i can help!

Thanks Bill :smile:

 

I'm interested in them all - but if I had to choose I'll say the EB, CR and LY or DS

I'm doing some tone-on-tone applications and I need to be perfect if not darn close with the color.

 

For Chili Red : Ask your dealer about 51 91 0 138 307 spray or
51 91 0 138 372 ready-mix

 

Electric Blue Met - BMW code 870, PPG code 113927
Pepper White - BMW code 850, PPG code 93141
Chili Red - BMW code 851, PPG code 701688
Dark Silver Met - BMW code 871, PPG code 303712
Candy Blue - BMW code 853, PPG code 113923
Silk Green Met - BMW code 901, PPG code 403200
Velvet Red Met - BMW code 903, PPG code 701686
Indi Blue met - BMW code 862, PPG code 113926
British Racing Green - BMW code 895, PPG 403201

Hope these help, i will post them in the forum as well

Cheers Bill

probably alot since when MINI2 went on a tour at the Oxford MINI plant, the minis are painted and then basically "electrocuted", er, well here, just read the article...

----------------------------------------
PAINTING THE MINI:

The paintshop was built in 1997 to the highest environmental and process standards. When it was under construction, it was the second biggest building programme in the UK - after the Millennium Dome. It is the most modern and flexible facility of its kind in the UK.

Thanks for the info!
