Good morning all,

 

Its that special time in my minis life when its off to the bodyshop for paint. Ive decided to paint it in MK1 / MK2 Mini cooper colour that i think is called dove grey with a roof to match the white cooper s wheels. 

 

The bodyshop have asked me to confirm the colour and the paint codes for the grey and the white. Can anyone help me with these ?

 

Many Thanks Ian (long time Mini Owner renewing his passion for mini after 33 yrs without one)

Dove grey shows as GR 26.

See the link below to check if it is the colour you want

As far as White is concerned there are far to many to advise one possibility is diamond white which I think the paint code is a rover one NAL

Dose anyone know the colour Cooper S wheels are painted ? and was this the same as the roof on cars normally ?

Mk1 is generally old English White for the roof wt-3 and the dove grey is gr-26, but mark one mini would have been smoke bu-15 or tweed grey gr-4 I think.
Most have wheels done old English White on mk1 but think if powder coating may need ral code and 9001 is close
