Its for a friend to paint his bubble car.

Cheers

Been on there but which one is it?

I dont have a italian job blue car to compare it againist.

its island blue

[Senile Old Git]

According to the brochure it is electric blue, so that makes the paint code according to the minicolours web site - JSA (BLVC997)

I did think island blue. But then i thought in the Italian job it was slightly darker.

Looking at the screen caps, i wouldn't say it was electric blue either

The Italian Job is a limited edition car that was produced in 1993, it has nothing at all to do with the cars featured in the film of the same name

I was always under the impression it was Island Blue..seems Mini restoration guide lists 2 codes for it though BU5 and BU8. We've sprayed one of ours the BU8 Island Blue

Saying that overlapping the two pictures, the film car does look darker but may just be different lighting

Italian Job blue car was painted Island blue so you guys are correct. However Jordies not asking this... so infact, I have no answer for him. Sorry

[Jordie]

think Senile Old Git is correct as thats the colour i had in mind.

its the limited edition minis built in th 90s not the colour from the film.
