Which one? The dark green or the lighter Cooper

The 850, Deluxe and Cooper S all had different coloured engines.
There are a few different greens, a gold, a blue and a black used on Australian Minis.

Tell us the model of your car and we can argue in circles about which one your car should have. :lol:

Mini King sells it in a tin marked `Cooper S green metallic', I still have a tin here with a bit in. No paint codes were on it though.

I had a local company mix up some for the Bathurst car. They keep the formula on file. I did a post on here about 12 months ago with the details and number you must quote. Is an air dry enamel. Spray it on low pressure and will give you a good gloss that is hard wearing. See muster pics for colour. G.
