Re-Painted my Countryman

The only colour my dealer had available was Black with a White Roof. It was very plain and it made the car look heavy and not like a Mini at all.

I just had it re-painted and now it looks like this:

Very novel! You forgot Sealy and my favorite colours, it should have been Cosmic Blue in place of the red and Pure Orange in place of the white. Maybe the other way around would also work.

Uniquely personalized ......Sometimes the black can look dull but with the right wheels and accents can turn it around.Like your combo though

Nice change-up. What red did you use?

Any plans for stripes or graphics?

Mini Re-Paint Colours

The colours I used for the repaint were:

Chili Red # 851
and
Aspen White # 899

The Pure Red on the latest models is too orange for my taste.
Chili Red looks terrific - a great colour.

So far, I haven't noticed any orange in mine. And, I'm actually quite fond of it.

However, the CR and white does make a nice combo, very well done. I have to question someone's suggestion that Cosmic and Pure would work - would have to see a mock up first.

Black can look amazing with full body stripes, and certain graphics.

Love the colors, but not sure about the bumpers, specifically the rear, you definitely need some driving lights in the front to finish the look.

I love the chili red.

I apologize for the negativity...but the aspen white...makes it look like your bumpers have primer on them...I would have gone chili red, also...IMHO.

I like that you...think outside of the box.

Looks cool -I think white wheels would really look good on this combo

I am not as brave as you to paint the main body but will paint my new yAkima box white and yellow - is Aspen white the countryman white or is it a r56 color

Just curious as I still can not seem to get the touch up paint the exact same color as stock

Love the Chili Red, really don't like the white bumpers, makes it look like a baby ambulance or a promo vehicle for the red cross without the crosses, paint them Chili Red and the car will look really good.
