COLOR CODEB94 - Frozen Blue Metallic (matt)Mini Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Mini is sporting a finish that most owners are too intimidated to drive. Since this color was active between 2018 and 2020 on the Clubman, Cooper, and Countryman, it represents a specific era of Mini design that leaned into a more industrial, high-tech aesthetic. It is a velvet-like blue that does not reflect light so much as it absorbs it, highlighting the car's curves in a way gloss paint never could. Because it was often used on limited runs and the early electric models, it carries a premium, rare air that sets your car apart from the standard sea of gloss.

Technical Details

This finish is a metallic base capped with a flat texture. Unlike a standard metallic that uses a glossy topcoat to create depth, this one relies on the surface texture to define the color. This creates a specific challenge for your repair. You cannot polish or buff this paint. If you try to sand out a mistake or use a traditional wax, you will create a permanent shiny spot that ruins the flat look. The metallic flakes are suspended in a way that requires an even hand to avoid mottling, which looks like dark shadows or uneven stripes in the finish.

Best Practices

To find your specific sticker, look on the passenger side door pillar or check the strut tower under the hood. Before you spray or dab Mini Frozen Blue Metallic (matt) (check for code B94), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. The matting agents that create the flat look like to settle at the bottom of the container. If they are not mixed, the repair will come out looking too shiny. Test the color on the included card to see how the metallic behaves and ensure it matches the surrounding panels. Keep the container moving as you work to ensure the paint lands in a light, uniform layer. If you are using a brush or pen, avoid building up a thick glob. Thin layers are the only way to maintain that signature texture as the drying time passes.
