Hi all

In just after the original colour for the 1100 engine.

Any help will be great.

Here’s the 2K (2 component) formula for a professional finish.

The colour of the Mini K engine is gold. I don't have a formula for it but Classic Gold Metallic 10488 is listed for 1967 and Classic Gold Metallic 13259 is listed for 1971 on the paint charts.

Were these engines over painted? My K is a very flaky gold, and underneath is standard BMC dark green.

Apologies for the confusion. My engine was painted gold all over as it should be, but the paint is flaking away to reveal BMC green underneath. I wondered whether it was painted green first and then gold once it known it would be going in a K.

Is the above PPG light green colour formulation correct for a mk2 S engine colour??

Yes. I used it on my 1970 MkII Cooper S.
