Mini Clubman Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
Mini clearly handed the keys to the color department and said, "Don't hold back." With 51 recorded colors, the Clubman's palette is a riot of personality. They really went for it, offering everything from the unapologetically bold Volcanic Orange and Spice Orange Metallic to the surprisingly tasty Iced Chocolate Tricoat. Of course, you've also got the quintessential British Racing Green II Metallic and the sophisticated Lapisluxury Blue for those who want their station wagon to look like it has a PhD in style.
What to Watch For
While the Clubman has plenty of charm, its "upright" design means the front end is essentially a vertical target for every pebble on the highway. You'll likely find stone chips congregating on the hood and the edges of the fender flares. Additionally, some owners have noted that the clear coat-especially on high-impact areas or around the windshield washer nozzles-can be a bit sensitive over time. To find your specific color match, look for a black sticker on the passenger-side door jamb (the B-pillar) or tucked under the hood on one of the strut towers. Mini is one of the few brands that often prints the actual color name right on the tag, which saves you a lot of guessing.
Driveway Repair Tip
Because many of these Mini colors are rich pearls or metallics (looking at you, Enigmatic Black Pearl), they require a little extra rhythm before you start. Shake your touch-up bottle or pen for at least 60 seconds-longer than you think you need-to wake up those metallic flakes so they don't all clump at the bottom. When applying, resist the urge to fill a chip with one big glob. Instead, dab a tiny amount of paint into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If it's a deeper "crater," just walk away, let it dry for twenty minutes, and add a second thin layer. It requires patience, but your Mini will thank you for the detail work.
