Your Paint Color Profile

X10/C3Z - Tanzanite Blue Metallic

The Look

This color is a bit of a chameleon that migrated over from the high-end BMW palette for a short stint on the 2022 Mini lineup. Whether it is sitting on your Cooper, Clubman, or Countryman, this shade behaves like two different paints. In the shade or under garage lights, it pulls a deep, moody navy that almost looks black. Once you pull into the sunlight, the finish wakes up with a distinct purple undertone. It is a premium look, but because it is so dark, it will highlight every bit of dust or light scratching on your clear coat. Keeping this finish clean is a full-time job, but the depth it offers is hard to beat.

Technical Details

This is a heavy metallic finish, which means the flakes are doing all the heavy lifting to create that signature glow. The main challenge with metallics is mottling, where the flakes clump together and create dark streaks or "tiger stripes" across the repair area. Before you apply Mini Tanzanite Blue Metallic (check for code X10/C3Z), you need to shake your container for at least two minutes to get those pigments suspended. If the flakes aren't mixed perfectly, your touch-up will look like a flat, muddy blue rather than the deep sapphire it should be.

Best Practices

You will find your paint code printed on a sticker located on the passenger side door pillar. Before you touch your car, test the color on the included card to ensure the flake density looks right. If you are using a spray, keep the container moving at a steady pace to prevent the paint from pooling. For those using a brush or pen, use light, dabbing motions rather than long strokes to keep the flakes from dragging. Give the paint plenty of drying time between layers. Rushing the process will cause the metallic particles to shift, which ruins the way the light hits the finish.

ensuring the right match

Find your Mini paint code

Mini color codes follow BMW paint code conventions and are hidden somewhere on the car, often on several panels. Common locations include the firewall and radiator support; they can also be on the door jamb or inside the trunk. Finding the code often requires patience, and if not found, multiple locations may need checking. The color code is necessary to order matching paint, and the numeric code, rather than only the color name, is recorded.

Will absolutely order from this company again.

After ordering touch-up paint from Lexus I was still waiting for it a month later. If they'd told me upfront it would take that long I wouldn't have ordered in the first place. Paint Scratch was recommended by a friend who restores cars. Easy ordering, fair price and fast shipping. The color match is great especially considering my car is a 2012. Will absolutely order from this company again. Reason I chose this business: Lexus collision repair and a local collision repair. Will use paint less dent removal and touch up chipped paint myself. Reason I chose this product: Spouse sideswiped passenger side of car while backing out of garage. Mostly plastic transfer from his wheel well trim but pressure creased and cracked the paint causing a bare strip 1/8 wide x 4" long below door handle. Scratches on door handle and a few small chips on both doors.

Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans

Used Paint Scratch metallic custom mixed spray cans paint on a hood panel with excellent coverage and texture over the surface. Metallic paint can be very unforgiving out of a spray can, sputtering pigmentation dots on the panel being sprayed and thus ruining the paint job. No such issues with Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint spray cans. Paint sprayed strong and evenly till the last drop of paint in the can. Shipping time was faster than expected. Reason I chose this business: Having tried other brands of custom mixed metallic paint with terrible results, sputtering pigmentation tint dots from the spray nozzle in spite of vigorously shaking of can prior to application and loss of propellant rendering the lower fifth of the can's paint useless, Paint Scratch custom mixed metallic paint sprays out beautifully and strong all the way to the last gram of paint in the can. Simply the best custom mixed paint in spray cans for automotive restoration. Thank you Paint Scratch.
