right, ok this summer im looking to get my mini resprayed and then pay some attention to the interior as at the mo, it's all pretty standard (not that theres anything wrong with that, jus fancy a change)

the only problem being im not sure what colour to go with?

does any one know where i can get hold of a colour chart? or anyone have any suggestions as to what colours look good......i want something eye catching and nothing like white (if that makes sense) as iv got white already!

any ideas?

sian

have jus found all the colours in the FAQ sections, but still do any of u guys have any ideas as to which colour i might go for?

just look around at other cars and find a colour you like , it doesent have to be a mini colour .

At the end of the day it depends what look your after.

If your looking to just freshen up the look of the car and want to stick with original mini colours then there are a limited few colours to go with.

But personally I reckon if you going to the expense of a paint job may aswell go for something personal and nuts! Candy orange? floresent pink with purple filp?? The choices are endless! Just don't go with Kawasaki green :fear: :tongue:

look in new car show rooms and when you find a colour you like just go in and ask what it is :smartass:

if you go to a paint shop they will only be able to show you little squares of colour so not as good , also remember the colours will look diferent in daylight :smartass:

[minipixie]

ooo yea good point!! im jus gonna look around for a couple of weeks, before i make up my mind! i want something different tho..........

what ever you do dont get kingfisher blue itis the colour of the Council house doors around nottinghamshire well mansfield and sutton go darker if you can

IMO, you MUST keep a car 2-tone, other wise they look weird in my opinion.as i took art i have a knak of thinking what would look good togeather like red and gold for instance. i have silver and black. as you can see. i dont meen take it to the extreme iw dials etc. the next mini i am planning to do up will be orange and black!

but 3 colours are alowed if the car is going to be a big unnion jack all over it! :grin:
