That what I thought it would be :) I went looking for that colour in halfords just to have a look but they didn't have it in and didnt list it in the book either, I imagine my bloke who is spraying it will be able to get it tho? X

Years ago I painted my BMX this colour, saw it on a mini and fell in love with it  

It's a blue/purple pearlescent colour, right? Halfords didn't do it  I had to have to have it mixed by a local paint shop, but it was a standard Rover colour.

Yeah I thought it was standard rover colour too will have to look into it and see what my bloke says :) fingers crossed x

Have a look at the first page of my project. The last mini I did was a purple colour. It wasn't metallic or pearl but a standard colour. It was a Nissan Micra paint code so easy to get hold of

[welshdan]

if you get the paint code any paint shop will mix the colour for you. if you are having the shell painted by a spray shop I guess they might have preference to supply the paint themselves via their own suppliers?

 

I don't know as I do my own spraying

[minimaxie]

It is Amaranth, colour code: Amaranth - KMN (BLVC1223)
 

Standard colour on Rover MPi Minis and the Equinox

I have now ordered a can of it off eBay just to check out the colour for sure with me own peepers lol :) x

[minimaxie]

Make sure you add laquer on top of it too. The laquer will help bring out the Pearlescent flecks in the paint

That is a lovely purple that's the colour I did mine
