COLOR CODEC2B - Digital Blue MetallicMini Touch-Up Paint

The Look

Your Clubman is wearing a color that was only available for a fleeting window between 2017 and 2018, making it a rare sight in a sea of grayscale hatchbacks. It represents a tech-forward era for Mini, offering a crisp, medium-tone blue that manages to look sophisticated without being somber. Because this shade was so short-lived, it gives your car a unique identity that later models lost when they moved toward more traditional navy tones.

Technical Details

This is a true metallic finish, which means your paint is packed with microscopic silver flakes that give it that digital, high-definition glow. These flakes are heavy and love to sink to the bottom of the container, so if you are lazy with your preparation, the color will look dark and muddy. Metallic paints also carry the risk of mottling; if you apply too much at once, the flakes will bunch together and create unsightly shadows. Success depends entirely on keeping your layers thin and consistent.

Best Practices

Before you spray or dab Mini Digital Blue Metallic (check for code C2B), you need to shake it for 60 seconds. You should find your color code on a black sticker located on the driver-side strut tower under the hood or along the passenger-side door pillar. Always test the color on the included card to ensure the metallic flake distribution looks right before you touch the car. Work in the shade and keep the container moving to prevent the paint from pooling. Give each layer enough drying time to become tacky before adding the next, which helps the flakes stand up and catch the light properly.
