How to Find Your 2012 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.

2012 Mini Background Info

The 2012 Mini Vibe

2012 was a wild time in the paint booth. Mini was cranking out the R56 Cooper and the "big" R60 Countryman, and they weren't shy about the color wheel. We're talking about a 32-color database that looks like a pack of Skittles exploded in a high-end furniture shop. You had the classics like British Racing Green II Metallic and Chili Red, but 2012 also gave us the quirky stuff that only a Mini can pull off-think Spice Orange Metallic, Ice Blue, and that "I'm-not-quite-brown" Light Coffee. Whether you were rocking a contrasting Aspen White roof or a stealthy Absolute Black Metallic setup, these cars were designed to be noticed. It was the peak of the "customized from the factory" era, and man, did they keep us busy.

Paint Health Check

Welcome to the **Thin Paint Era**. By 2012, the robots at the factory were getting a little too good at their jobs. They perfected "efficiency," which is just a fancy way of saying they laid the paint on thinner than a celebrity marriage. Because the front end of a Cooper or Countryman is about as aerodynamic as a brick wall, your 2012 is likely a magnet for stone chips. If you look closely at your hood, it's probably looking like a lunar landscape. Worse yet, that thin clear coat on the high-exposure areas-like the edges of the roof and the top of the windshield-is prone to "delamination" if it's spent too much time in the sun. If you see your Spice Orange looking a little "chalky" or the clear starting to flake like a bad sunburn, you're fighting the ghost of robot efficiency.

Restoration Tip

When you're touching up a 2012, you have to fight the urge to be a hero. Because factory paint from this era is so thin and "tight," a giant blob of touch-up paint will stick out like a sore thumb. **Therefore, you need to build your layers slowly.** Don't try to fill a deep chip in one shot or you'll end up with a "volcano" that's impossible to level. Apply a paper-thin layer, let it flash off, and repeat until you're just a hair below the surface. If you're working with one of those high-metallic shades like Brilliant Copper or Crystal Silver, building it up in thin "dusting" layers is the only way to keep the flakes from bunching up and looking dark. Take your time-the robot didn't, so you have to.
