Hi All been debating what white color to spray my mini for a while know and was thinking about different manufacture codes but for ease and for repairs i want to keep it a mini paint code so i'm looking at keeping it original with diamond white or something different old English white seeing a lot off different pics which all look very different from one another.

so if some one could show me some comparison pics of the two paint codes would be very Very helpful! will help me figure out if Diamond white is more of a Van colored white or if OEW is to much off a off white.

Thanks

I am in the same boat, not sure what white to paint mine either, although mine is a clubby estate. I am really swaying over to the Old English White, but would also love to see some comparisons

Aaron white is a nice classic looking white, makes the old English white next to it look a bit blue

Was trying to find a pic but i havent got one which really shows the difference.
What i wanted to show is that if you're going to paint the whole car in white, OEW is the choice.
Diamond white is a plain bright white that looks great as a contrast colour, if you do the whole car with no contrast parts it will look a 'cheap' paintwork.

There are 2 old english whites which doesn't help, imaginitively named old english white 1 & old english white 2

[SA MINI]

My car is plain fresh white diamond
It looks very clean all the time, stands out & has a good classic look about it. And definetly does not look like a cheap paint job !
