Mini Paceman Paint Info
The Color Breakdown
The Mini Paceman is a bit of a rebel in the lineup, and its color palette reflects that "cool cousin" energy. We've recorded 11 colors for this model, and Mini really went for it with the names. You're likely holding a bottle of the iconic Chili Red, the rugged Jungle Green Metallic, or perhaps the sophisticated Brilliant Copper Metallic. Whether yours is a bright statement or a moody metallic, these colors were designed to turn heads-which also means every little scratch feels like a personal insult.
What to Watch For
The Paceman has a bold, upright face, which is great for style but acts like a magnet for road debris. You'll mostly find battle scars in the form of stone chips on the hood and the A-pillars. Mini paint is known for being a bit "soft," meaning it looks fantastic but can be sensitive to the elements. Before you start, hunt down your paint code: it's usually on a black sticker located on the passenger side center pillar (B-pillar) when you open the door, or occasionally tucked away on the passenger side strut tower under the hood. It'll be a three-digit code that tells the story of your specific shade.
Driveway Repair Tip
If you're working with one of those gorgeous metallics like Starlight Blue or Royal Gray, here's the secret: shake that touch-up bottle for at least 60 seconds longer than you think is necessary. Those tiny metallic flakes like to settle at the bottom, and you need them dancing in the paint for a good match. When applying, resist the urge to fill a chip in one big "glob." Use the tip of your applicator to dab a tiny amount into the center of the chip and let it flow to the edges. If the chip is deep, do two thin layers rather than one thick one. It requires a little patience, but your Paceman will thank you for the extra care.
