That Jet Red looks really good.
My Mini K has no colour code on it, I am guessing it is Jet Red as it has faded and is quite orange.
Anybody know what reds Ks came in? Just wonder what else mine could be if it is not Jet Red.

Mini K was made from 1969-71. My `matic is a 70, I reckon Jet Red would be the colour you have. The RTA listed mine as Orange, even though it's Jet Red.
That pic I posted is old- my car has now faded quite a bit, Jet Red is really pretty much the same shade as the Scarlet O'Hara in Kinkabell's Clubby.
Ford `Red Flame' is the touchup can used for both. :wink:

I think u PM'd me re this?

This is early model PPG Ford Monza Red/Jet White roof. Im unsure of the paint code. With the low light in this pic it looks quite rich.

In high light conditions, it dosnt seem as rich. I think its quite a nice shade of red.

Wow thanks everyone for your help, I don't know what red to repaint my mini.

People say keeping the car the original colour keeps the value up, would this apply to different shades of red or only the original shade?

For info, Scarlet O'Hara also came out in 1976 clubby.
This is my existing project.
