This is painted in alpine green from bunnings. Its a white knight product in their hammer-tone range. Its fairly close to the original cooper s colour.

| Post subject: | Engine paint colour? |
I am removing my engine for some work over the next week or so and was planning to repaint the complete engine, clutch cover and transmission while i have it out. What colour choices do i have that are either origonal or popular? BMC green is common but i dont mind it. It looks as though my engine was once painted in that gold/green cooper s colour. Does anyone have some pics of their engine colours they may be able to post. |

Nice 
Yeh that is similar to the colour i think the engine was painted a very long time ago. Under that is a dark green. Both colours make a very ugly peeling flakey old decrepid look 
I dont mind that cooper s goldy colour. Very nice thanks for the pic. |

This is a bit greener, it's the same colour Greig Malaure paints many of his engines. Paint is Omeron Coatings enamel- `Mini Metallic Green' 
This is Mini Metallic Green bought from Mini Car Clinic. (I think same as what Mini King is selling). Is much lighter than the one above.

*Ahem* Nice choice 
The Mini King sells it in 500 ml cans as Cooper S green. About 35 dollars gets you enough to spray about 2 engines or more. Lasts well, its been a year and about 5000 k's and its going strong. No primer was used, and so far it doesn't look like it was needed either. |

Jester and Kev's photos look pretty close to what I bought (more than) a few years ago. It was mixed from the. BMC formula (back when they still made the correct tints). The can says "Metallic Green Met". Cheers, Ian |

That's an english mini clubman, so probably not an original engine colour for Oz
