Your Paint Color Profile

C5H - Zesty Yellow

The Look

You did not buy a car in this shade to blend into the scenery. This color arrived as the high-energy hero for the modern Convertible, though it looks as sharp on a standard Cooper. Because your Mini is still new, the surrounding paint has kept its neon pop. This makes your repair less about matching faded paint and more about mimicking that fresh factory brightness. It is a loud, unapologetic hue that demands attention on the road.

Technical Details

This is a solid finish, so it lacks the metallic flakes or pearl shifts found in more conservative options. While that makes matching the shimmer simple, yellow pigments are thin and translucent. If you do not build up enough layers, the dark primer or the metal underneath will cast a shadow through the finish. You need to reach full opacity by applying several light coats rather than one heavy application that might sag or drip.

Best Practices

Open your driver's door and look for the sticker on the door jamb to confirm your information. Before you spray or dab Mini Zesty Yellow (check for code C5H), you must shake the container for a full sixty seconds to get those heavy yellow pigments off the bottom. Test the color on the included card to ensure the shade is right. When you apply it, keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling and allow plenty of drying time between your layers.

How to Find Your Mini's Color 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.
