Hi

I am searcing for the colour names or better the codes/subscriptions for the green and white colour used on the MINI COOPER team cars entered by the Cooper Car Company from 1963 - 69.

My self
I am from Denmark and are working on getting my 65 MINI Cooper on the road again. Untill now I have mainly been in the MG business, but are now returning back to my roots!

Regards

Here is the formula as posted on the Cooper Car Club site

http://www.coopercar...ml/archive.html

Cooper Racing Green as researched by John Cooper, David Cooper and Dupont is

Dupont Chromabase.
Color Spectramaster Green, Value shade #7

GS 57612 Tinting Guide mixed as follows for a 2 quart pot.

806J HS Black 193.4 grams

Best results come from using Dupont primer/surfacer 30S Gray as an under coat.
