LINK also sell it in a spray pack. It's also a Mitsubishi colour and that's what the can reads.
Gives me a thought for a new thread!

What is the name of the colour used on MkII engines? I seem to recall "BMC Gold" Talking to Ron Williams at Tenterfield last year, he says there is a Valiant colour called Tiffany Green is pretty close to the BMC colour. Does anyone have a paint code or direct me to a previous post. Thanks! |

`Cooper S green metallic'. It is a spraying enamel. John Smidt stocks it. |

We have just completed a rebuild on a Cooper S original engine and the owner wanted as close to original on the colour. Couldn't get the mix in an enamel so went with a COB (2K Clear over Base). From memory there are 7 tinters in this and while most ones that are close have a lot of silver, this mix has silver with a hint of orange and gold. After a lot of searching and trials we came up with this:    We used a 'BASLAC' basecoat 35 with a clear on top. AMBER SHERWOOD F3 is a 1970 Dodge colour and most companies should have the same comparable mix. |

Thanks Dave, I just shrunk the images down a little to a size that fits the screen a little better. They were massive. I've just pulled them across to the Ausmini Photobucket, so the links aren't the same |

The colour is really bright as it comes out of the gun, but it tones down to a much paler colour as it gets a little heat over the next few months. Your colour looks much the same as the Mini King tint, so this image of mini today might represent well what I am talking about.

Hey Mick can you tell me where you got those type of hose clamps from? |

The old wire ones? They're the wrong ones for my car, but I got a kick out of fitting them, and I haven't had an excuse to take the hose off to fit the utilux ones instead... I think I found them over time and had them zinc coated along with a batch of bolts. I think John Schmidt at Miniking used to sell them from time to time however. Give John a call. |

The correct Cooper S engine colour on an old Duco tin I have (never throw anything out) is Metallic Green - Duco colour code 203-13261. 203 is the paint type, in this case High Gloss lacquer, and 13261 is the colour code. RonR |
