...the same color as the engine?
No, not with engine paint. But the same paint code as BMC engine green? I was staring at my freshly painted engine and it occurred to me that this color green might look pretty good on the exterior of a Mini. It's a bit lighter and more yellowish than BRG, and with a OEW roof I think it would be interesting.
Please ignore my very amateur masking work. It was really hot and I was pretty tired - that's the excuse I'm using. Of course this way I just painted the front and sides of the engine, but I really didn't want to pull it out just to paint it. So this is sort of a half assed job. I'm hoping when everything is back together no one will notice that the back has not been painted - it's already the same green. Just tired looking.
I think it would look good on a moke
Here's a few Minis I found on the Interwebs that kinda look like that color.
Looks very close to the "Brooklands" green of the panel van I had not long ago.
Yes. That's a good looking van.
