oooh! at last, that could well be the same colour as mine!

[Mini Man Dan]

as far as I am aware it is the origonal colour (except the roof) when i had it resprayed they matched it to vermillion although it seems alot brighter than i thought it was going to be

Vermilion was an early 80's colour, on lots of Metros. They brought out another red that was almost identical just to confuse you - Cinnibar???

My Mini is 1981 and the log book says Vermillion red

I'm doing mine ST orange (ford focus)
Saw 1 today go past work, the sun was on it and it looked sooo nice, i started day dreaming from then on about the mini lmao.

Don't Know how easy/cheap its going to be to get hold of the paint though, i still haven't managed to find the paint code. anyone know what it is?

The code is 6FSE,... and it's called Electric orange.


I can tell you that it's a MASSIVE ball ache if you get stone chips etc and need to get it touched up or a panel repsrayed.
