Need extra paint

Sorry if this has been covered, but where can I buy Pepper White extra paint (not touch up paint)? Is there a Mini website that sells this, or anyone know?

Thanks in advance.

Any Automotive Paint supplier should be able to mix it for you by the paint code, be advised there are variations to the actual code so you may want to bring the paint supplier a paint piece of the car ie. fuel door to properly match the color. Also stay with the chemicals used by the paint manufacturers line ie. Hardeners, Reducers, Primers, Sealers and Clearcoats. should be smae brand/line to avoid any problems. I would also stick with a known brand name such as BASF weather Glasurit or Diamond, PPG or Dupont. We shoot BASF Diamont where I work and the color match is very good when panel painting components but as always the best refinish work is blended into adjacent panels. Hope this helps - Mark

I ordered Indi Blue from them before and it was a perfect match.

If you want paint to spray go to an auto body supply house. We are a custom paint shop and spray Mini colors and Corvette colors. We use PPG Deltron 2000 series paint. The match is some of the best I have ever used. You can also buy in in a pint. You can get your paint code from the car or call the dealer.

All you need is the factory paint code

and then you can go to your local auto paint supplier - if you want bulk paint (AKA paint to come out of the end of a spray gun.) and they can mix it 4 u. Check the yellow pages under automotive paint. Any supplier can match the color given the code....

If you want small quantity or a rattle can you can use
