Just follow extra close to a rock truck, that should chip your paint and your windshield

I sell the Mini OEM touch-up paint in all the OEM colors for about $12.90; they retail for like $15.85. Guys...don't delete this post please. I am not trying to sell products in this post just letting Chris know if he needs an exact paint match for his powdercoater he can get it very easily.

If you want the closest paint chip to match your MINI, just remove a part of your MINI, like the circular cover of the tow hook hole found on the front or rear bumper and give it to the paint shop to match. There are many factors in which a paint sample, even from the dealer or factory, may not exactly match your car, but it all comes down to the fact that your car was painted at a different time and under different conditions than a sample.
