Paint mixing??
Turbo Mini Forums

I have just fitted a new wing to my mini.... But i have a problem it has been resprayed... but it is a custom colour... i have took the old wing down to my local paint shop them just said they cannot mix it up!!
Well dose any one know off a paint shop which would mix it up for me??
Cheers :)

Hi,
Unless you know the original formula, this will be impossible. There's at least 30 tins of paint in a mixing scheme and these can be weighed out in increments of 0.1 of a gram.
From this you can see how there would be millions of possible combinations from 30 colours/tints and the different quantities of each you can put into the mix...
Cheers,
Gavin :)

Try house of Kolor on 01302 341788 I think the do a paint matching service. You will have to send them a sample and I have heard they are by no means cheap but probably still cheaper than a good respray. Keep us posted of how you get on

O- Cheers mate ... will do ill give them a call tomrow and let you know how i get on
Cheers!!
