The Australian Mk 1 engine & gearbox were painted "Cooper S Metallic Green" over the original dark green UK paint, The paint code is CP 8689. |

500ml tins are available from Mini Kingdom. It took the full 500ml to paint mine with three good coats. Make sure you clean the engine thoroughly before painting otherwise the paint will not stick - I washed mine four times with Prepsol, prior to that the engine had been cleaned by the engine rebuilder. |

I only ever paint my engines with cheap rattle cans in whatever colour I feel like on the day, but I always give them a coat of etch primer first - never had it flake off, so that's my tip |

What if you are painting over old paint? What's the best prep? |
