Hi,

I am just prepping the mini for a full respray and am trying to work out what colour to do it.
I have sort of decided what colour i want it, a Grey with a black roof.
The problem is trying to find an "off the shelf" colour that suits, i have had a look and kinda like the yukon grey but i think its a bit light!

Please help me find one because this is starting to drive me up the wall! lol

Farina Grey does the trick, a true classic mini colour and rare, if you want to be differant.

This is my trouble fellas! lol
Got some really cool idea of colours but dont know any of the paintcodes!
i like the idea of x power grey or something but want to keep it to a flat (non metalic colour)!
pictures of the colour with paintcodes next to it would be awesome if anybody knows them!
hasnt gotta be a rover colour just a "cool grey"
cheers

I was looking at doing my car in Grey also and I was thinking of Dove Grey GR.26 (Austin paint code)

Check out MK1 performance conversions for original paint codes;

Yeah thats a bit on the light side i think.
Although i like the look of the rose taupe!
Found a picture of an old morris minor in it and looks ok.

yep - its the rover 96-98 colour. I think the 60's one is a bit lighter.
