Hi!

 I want to repaint my mini 850.  Where could I find the original color code for it ?

 Thanks,

Josée

Hi Josee

what colour is it? I can probably tell you the paint code just from the colour...it wasn't printed on the chassis plate till much later so you won't find it on the car!

Hi Oz,

 

Thank you so much for your quick response.  The color of my mini is orange with a white top .

 Have a good evening,

 

Thanks again,

 

Josée

that will be Blaze which is RD16 on the paint code that was used 71 to 75. 1976 went to Vermillion with the code RD118 hope that helps

Regards

I have a 1977 Mini 1000 that originated in New Zealand. The service booklet lists the body color as "Burnt Apricot". Do you havr the color code? It is currently painted red, but I would like to get it back to original. Do you have anything on interior color schemes from 1977?

Hi Joe+Minidob59,
