I have a 78 mini stripped and sand blasted new panels primed. Now the hard part, what colour to go with? I bought an all new black interior for it and I have chrome wheels and chrome mirrors bumpers fog lights etc, so what colour to go with? Brother in law is a paint and body man for general motors, he is just waiting on witch colour to go with. I was thinking red or black? Which red is better on a mini a more flat red like ferrari red or a more matellic red slightly darker?

it all depends what look your going for

a classic or modern look

if its old school then stick to a solid colour

if its full body kit and up to date and metallic or even a flip colour
