Minicooper4me, we can match this colour for you to an original colour book, unfortunately the original standard is missing. If I can help you send me a pm

Freddo - can you remember how they did it? Did you submit a sample to be matched or did they have it in their system? If the latter, it would be interesting to know how they created it, or where they obtained it. I ask this because of my earlier comment on how close the colour mixes being used today are when compared to the original colours.



I have been using Glasurit from Sydney Automotive Paints and Equipment. They eye matched 4 litres of Marine Blue perfectly.
For Crystal White, we found a matching colour chip that was already in their system. I bought a small quantity for a test spray for comparison to the car- now I have their code for "Crystal White" (or as close as you will get it).
