How can you not like pink?
 

 
 
 
 
!!

 

There's a City E in a local showroom near me - it's in some sort of metallic gold. Don't know the name of it, but it's yuck!

Sienna gold pearl, perhaps?

 

Having googled it, quite possibly.

My pickup will be factory green as it looks nice and it is original.. My mayfair I have sprayed ole english white with black roof and arches..

I think browns do look good and are I think coming back into fasion,, maybe

sandglow yellow and russet brown are my least favourite

 

Bought a brand new 1275GT in 1979 for £2500 because it was Sandglow and nobody wanted it. It's a horrible colour especially with those striped seats of that era that look like they've been pinched from a deck chair. The Mini that followed in was Russett Brown too. 

 

Best : Astral Blue Metallic on a 998 Mayfair. Unfortunately Mrs Govig trashed it before it was a year old.

Speedwell Blue is great.

 

 

Marigold is a good colour. It was used on Mini Vans in the early 1960's

 

 

The best Mk2 colour is Sandy Beige

 

 

Tundra is a good 70's colour

 

 

Cooper Car Co colours (Connaught Green?) are always a favourite

 

 

as are the Broadspeed colours (Aston Silver Fox over Rolls Regal Red)

I thought I'd dig this thread up as I'm not sure about what colour to paint the mini for my missus. I originally wanted to do it a cadburys purple colour but she has said she like red but not bright gloss red so I'm thinking one of the deeper metallic shades of red so wondered what peoples opinions of the metallic reds in particular are.

 

I like nightfire but looks like the cherry red is also a nice colour.
