Manufacturer's Paint Code for Energetic Yellow

I want to do the same with mine. The accessory guy at my MINI dealership actually painted some for a client and used the G2 product. He mixed the bright yellow with the lime green and it is a good match. I am going to do the same for mine. Someday.

 

Not sure if it helps, but there are the Energetic Yellow Pantone and CMYK values.

The “Energetic Yellow” is:

Pantone 612C
CMYK: 0/0/100/23​

 

I purchased this touch-up paint to solve some power spoke curb rash, it seems correct to me. Their containers are really small though -- probably not enough to paint brakes? Maybe you could ask them about quantity.

That what I use on my calipers and with Victory spoke wheels I hardly see what is there.

 

Wait. I thought we’d been over this already in another thread, where someone said G2 refunded the payment because they only mix body color codes, not trim.

 

The last 50 British SEs should be convertibles with their bodies painted Energetic Yellow. How much would you pay, knowing you won't get a tax credit? How about $60K (remember, limited to just 50 examples)?

 

We never going to see them in USA they sold already to people with connections. Why only 50 ?

 

I'm sorry I didn't add a disclaimer saying this was my daydream. MINI's Plant Oxford is not really going to make any electric convertibles for sale--not even for $60K apiece. In my daydream I imagined a run of 50 high-priced special cars to end the amazing 4-year run of British-built MINI Cooper SEs. I may be the only one, but I'd want my convertible to be Energetic Yellow.

 

I'll corroborate the earlier post that C4N is the official color. I called the dealership parts office, and the C4N was their response.

 

Insightfulman

 

Apologies for being lazy here, but IIRC somebody stated that multiple shades of yellow are used on the SE. If that's true, does anybody know the paint code for the yellow ring of the hub caps (not the Power Spoke wheels)? They seem a little more intensely yellow than the boot blob or the Ss on the grill/side scuttles/boot.

 

C4N Energetic is very close to the blobs and esses, but the center cap rings and Power Spoke rim bands are closer to Oracal Brimstone Yellow and 3M/VViViD Daytona Yellow. Sorry, don’t have the paint codes.

 

Thanks, that's actually very helpful.

 

I like those two hues better anyway (over larger areas) than the blob color, so I’m ok with a bit of clashing or mismatching; the calipers and rim details are far enough away from the scuttles and badges that the clashes don’t grab any real notice. These two alternates are also closer to the Bright Yellow of the optional yellow mirror caps.

 

Right, it was the calipers I had in mind. No point paying for custom mixed paint if it doesn't match the yellow of the hub center caps anyway. (I have black Victory Spoke wheels, so that's the only other yellow nearby.)

Has anybody here just opted for the stock G2 caliper paint? If so, how close would you judge it to match the other yellow bits? (I'm not looking for an exact match, just want to avoid an obvious mismatch.)
