I have a 1979 austin mini special and i needs a re spray, i will be spraying it myself because i rally my mini so it will get scratched really quickly.

I love Island Blue but i reckon with a oew roof

[pikey7]

if it's gonna be scratched every 5 minutes, do it white. It'll be easier to keep. Blue will scratch off and show.

This is OEW with a black roof

I'm with Pooky. Mine is gradually turning Island Blue, but will prob do roof OEW, although black roof looks good too.

[Dog]

Yep this is Island Blue

i have decided to go for island blue with a black roof (two of my friends have red and white minis, Italian job!) does anybody know the paint code for island blue?

[Bungle]

white and black

i think you should go with speedwell blue.. very easily the nicest blue ever put on minis.... I know what you mean about building a rally car thats going to get scrathed up... the 73 I'm going to build into a rally car is going oew with a black roof but I want it to look like it just rolled off the showroom floor.... I want to hear people tell me I'm an idiot for running such a nice car.

The code is BU08

[blacktulip]

i say the cream and black! although the blue looks good too. i suppose any of the two would look great!
