my mini needs painting , but i dont know what colour to paint it, any sugestions on what colour could get the best value out of of my car, im thinking red would be the best but not sure what shade? any help? or some sort of blue?

I think red would be a good choice if your going for resale appeal.

My car is painted in Ford Radient Red which is; Not too dark, not too light and not too glossy - So doesn't take hours of buffing and polishing to look great!

Have you got a picture of the mini so we can see what colour would suit it best?

[the.stroker]

Ever thought of white,shows up all the rust/dirt though but look good if showroom condition

I was going to paint one of my cars in ford thistle purple i think a mini would look great in this. I have now decided on retro for that car now so that colour wouldnt really suit it.
Here is a link to a car on ebay in the colour.

I know its not a mini but I wonder how much it would be to chrome your mini

You can paint that effect now and the material is getting cheaper it is a special basecoat that you polish before clearcoating.
