Paint Code Guide

Where to find your Mini Cooper paint code

The factory colour code that gives your Mini Cooper its exact colour — find it once and order a perfect-match touch-up.

On most Mini Cooper models the paint code is on a sticker under the bonnet, near the strut towers, next to Farbe / Code. The code there — for example 475 — is your colour. Copy it exactly.
