hi ive desided to to put a 2 piece steel front back on my mini rather than the one piece fibreglass one that i have on at the moment.
My problem is as some of you may remember i built my mini last year to raise money with on the l2b run which i also did in memory of my dad who past away january last year,after the run i had a rather stroppy email from the company that sponsered me by suppling the paint for my car, stating they didnt feel that i advertised there company very well and that they wanted to take me to court for full payment of the 3lts of paint they supplied, so to cut a long story short after this i dont want to go back to this company for the paint i need so was wondering if the roll on paint you can get could be matched to my car, i dont think it is a paticular car manufacturers colour but its just a orange gloss.If so what company should i contact.

thanks for any advice

did the paint tin not have a colour code on it ?

[clivemk1mini]

it just says orange gloss on the tin if i remember correctly and that is the colour the body shop said it was and that it doesnt have any other name

[Bungle]

you could try taking it to a local paint supplier and see if they can match it

[clivemk1mini]

can you actually buy the roll on paint from a normal car paint shop or is it only from other specialists

[Bungle]

i buy my rustoleum from brewers

[clivemk1mini]

thanks for all the advice i willl try brewers to see if they can match it

I imagine it was a RAL colour, so it should be matchable in any paint.
