    Hi R53 owners,

    Wow, I'm asking an R53 question, well a general paint question.

    I am looking for the roof paint code for the 2006 checkmate silver roof. I know it is not pure silver, some folks say it is called reflex silver.

    Anyone have a code for reflex silver. Even a good link would be good. I have tried Google Search, but no matches except VW and BMW e type for wheels (huh!) :crazy:

    Can someone with the space blue checkmate get me a paint code number?

    Doing some future changes on my 07 MCS scooter, looking at my options in paint.

    I thank you in advance. :)

    Don

    Everything I have checked comes up as Pure Silver Paint Code 900

    Please let me know if I am not correct.

    Nathan might be the best person to answer this question...:D

    I always thought it was Pure Silver too. I have one, not a checkmate but the Space Blue/Silver combo. I've always been told it is Pure Silver.

    But in wanting to be sure I'm calling MINI.

    Calling MINI to ask the roof paint code for a Checkmate or Space Blue / Silver car is a waste of time.

    They said call the dealer.

    Reflex silver was a wheel color ...and it did not really match very well

    The only color tag I could find on the GP was for Thunder Blue...
    A64/5

    Only thing I can find online about the silver roof MINI's is for the Pure Silver...
    900

    However, I did find a Rooftop Grey Metallic...
    B47 but, it only lists that color for '12 and '13 models.

    Great responses, I noted pure silver code 900.

    Nathan, does your MINI have the codes under the bonnet?

    I thought pure silver was the lighter and the silver roof on the Checkmate was a bit deeper in tone.

    Am I wrong?

    Thanks, Don

    Having just had my Silver Roof painted the shop used Paint Code 900 to match what was there before.
