    Its for the door lettering... ;)

    First one to spit out an actual color code for "Jungle Green" (prototype 2015 Countryman color) gets a free ice cold beer of your choice at the Dragon next year... Ive tapped out my resources and come up empty handed. :(

    It looks like this:

    The front fenders and cowl... I need a darker color for it, and with all but the doors being different shades of MINIs greens, its between that and regular British Racing Green. I think this Jungle green will be a better match though. :)

    That conaught green from the WC50 is a beautiful, non-metallic green.

    Are they sure? I heard a big bang on the front of my car last week that I would have sworn was a mortar hit, but it turned out to be a chunk of metal from a truck three ahead of me on the Interstate that nicked the the hood, smashed the trim on the trailing edge of the hood (new one: $63), fortunately missed the windshield and flew up over the car.

    I like your story better though. Maybe I'll steal it. :biggrin5:

    Ready to mask it all off tomorrow, and start the morning with a nice cup of high build primer on the drivers side... :)

    Looks good but needs to be more faded. :Thumbsup::popcorn:


    Are the doors and quarters going to match the roof and hood?
