Firstly, sorry if this is in the wrong section, but I need replys asap and I thought this would be the best place

Got my mini in the body shop at the moment, and theyre asking the million dollar question; what colour.

After lengthy discussion, we came to the (not entirely my choice!) conclusion to go with non metallic paint (easy to get even, easy to touch up, cheaper etc)

Which has left me with a problem. Im currently going through ebay and autotrader trying to fall in love with a blue. But no luck. Everything seems to be metallic. Even the cheap cars (kia, daewoo etc) only do either metallic blues, or just horrible colous.

Im looking for something between this:

and ths:

(But obviously non metallic)

Anyone got any suggestions? All are welcome!

Thanks

Sorry, not sure if its metallic but MG trophy blue has been done a few times and does look good, BMW Le mans blue is another nice one, one of the lotus elises has a nice blue but not sure on the colour name

^^^^ They are probably all metallic so might not be any help!

Have a look through here for some mini related ones
