Hi all,

My Dad's looking to paint his deluxe white. It's in the shop but he hasn't worked out the final shade of white. He's seen an English Old English white mini in a magazine which he quite likes.

I was hoping the good people of ausmini land might have some pics of this painted on a car.

And what about the other whites?

Snow white, Toga white, Nurburg/ Norburg whites etc.

Anyone used the BMW whites on a Morris?

Anyone got any favourites?

Show us your pics!!

Thanks,

Paul

Had a Toga white with burgundy roof Cooper S many years ago. In my opinion not the nicest BMC white about. Snow white is one of the better ones

Old English White wasn't used on Australian Minis, its a UK colour. Its kind of creamy. I'm told that MINI Pepper White is almost identical.

Thanks guys!

He's gone for old English white with a black roof.
Probably with some Dunlop wheels.

I'd just go all white. Or shadow blue...

Some very nice minis you have too!
I have to say I like slacko's mini the best. Very tidy.

Thanks again!

Paul

OEW is a nice colour, goes well with a black roof too.

OEW is for British made cars.
Snow white is much better for Australian made cars.
