Hi all.

My 05 MCS has just a few little scratches I would like to touch up. Do I have to go through MINI to buy a small touch up paint, or are there other vendors. It's the lightning blue...

 

I've used Dr. Color Chip on my 2012 Lightning Blue with very good results.

 

I guess I'm not lightning blue, but perhaps Hyper Blue. can anyone confirm colors for '05? Thanks for the link, spiny.

OK. By the color bars, the closest I see is Electric Blue Metallic. Laser blue looks closer, but didn't start until '07. I'll go with the electric blue. Thanks for the link. Motor on!

 

colorcode should be on a sticker under the bonnet


I've been buying my t/up paints from here for years

Find the color code tag on your car, and match the paint to that. R53's all have the code on the passenger side strut tower under the hood... It will have the color name, and a 3 or 4 digit number... The number is what you need.

 

Cool! I'll go look.

 

Here is where I get all of mine... (+1)
