Where to find Mini color code

How to Find Your Mini's Color Code

Mini color codes follow BMW paint code conventions and are hidden somewhere on the car, often on several panels. Common locations include the firewall and radiator support; they can also be on the door jamb or inside the trunk. Finding the code often requires patience, and if not found, multiple locations may need checking. The color code is necessary to order matching paint, and the numeric code, rather than only the color name, is recorded.

Your Paint Color Profile

Emerald Grey Metallic

The Look

Your Cooper carries a sophisticated shade from the 2019 to 2021 production run. This is not a flat asphalt grey. It possesses an earthy green soul that shifts toward a muted sage when the sun hits the panels. Since your car has been on the road for a few seasons, the original finish has settled into its final character. This color was a short-lived addition to the palette, providing a mature alternative to the bright reds and blues found on most hatchbacks.

Technical Details

This is a metallic finish. The depth comes from small reflective flakes suspended in the pigment. When you fix a chip or a scratch, these flakes must lay in a flat pattern. If you apply the paint in a thick layer, the metal particles cluster and create dark patches. Because this is a metallic, a clear coat is mandatory. Without that top layer, the repair looks dull and the green undertone remains hidden in the shade.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Mini Emerald Grey Metallic (check for code C1C), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. Shaking is vital to keep the metallic particles from sinking to the bottom of the container. You can find your code on a black sticker on the passenger side strut tower under the hood or the driver-side door pillar. Test the color on the included card to confirm the shade matches your car. When applying, keep the container moving to help the flakes land in a uniform layer. Give the paint enough drying time between thin coats rather than trying to hide the damage with one pass.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4” long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I find my vehicle’s paint code?

Your paint code is usually found in the driver’s door jamb, trunk, or under the hood. See our Mini Paint Code Guide for detailed instructions.

Will this paint match my car?

Yes. If your Mini's color code is 'C1C', your paint is custom-mixed to factory specs and backed by our Color Match Guarantee. If the paint does not match your Mini, we will send you a replacement or refund.

Do I need primer and clearcoat?

While primer is recommended on bare metal or plastic, clearcoat is essential: it protects the basecoat and restores factory gloss.

How long does shipping take?

Orders are mixed fresh and ship within 3–5 business days. Delivery takes 2–14 days depending on location.

Which touch up product should I choose?

 It depends on the size of the damage:

  • Paint Pen (½ oz) – Best for very small chips and fine scratches.
  • Brush Bottle (2 oz) – Great for medium chips or scratches up to the size of a quarter.
  • Spray Can – Ideal for larger areas and panels.
  • Professional Sizes (Pint, Quart, Gallon) – Designed for full panel and vehicle resprays using spray equipment.

Not sure? If it’s just rock chips or small scratches, start with a Paint Pen.

Can I return my order?

Yes! If there’s a color match issue, we’ll replace the product or give you your money back. You also can return unopened, non-custom accessories for a full refund.

How long will the paint last in storage?

Paint pens and bottles last about a year if stored cool and dry. Spray cans can last several years if the nozzle is cleaned.
