Painted mine with base/clear a few years ago. This is the accurate Almond Green. I'm not sure how to get the image in my post!

The 35th Anniversary Coopers in the mid 90's were Almond green, it maybe easier to find a 90's color than something from the 60's.

If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.

make a car lighter and it's faster everywhere. Colin Chapman.

John, My 62 Cooper was originally the Almond green in your photo, in 64 the color was changed. Cant remember where I read about it.
Cheers.

Green not being my favorite, I still seem to buy cars that were AG from factory but no longer. In the last couple of years Toyota has been painting  a SUV a green that I see as close. I plan to give that a try next time I paint one green. I take that back, we are painting one New MINI BRG metallic with a diamond white roof and mirrors. They look really good with W&P flares and 6X10 with 165/10s. Steve (CTR)

This is the color I'm looking for. This pic is just one I found off the web. It's very difficult to visualize how a whole car will appear after it's painted from just a small chip of color out of a book. Also it can differ from monitor to monitor.

Bill, is this what your truck looks like?

I want to paint my new shell Almond Green, but the paint shop can't use the original code (GN37) to mix some up. They say that the only paint they have in that exact code is a single part euro paint and the chip for it looks way too dark. Do any US mini owners have a two pack paint code that's close? Seems to be plenty of Almond Green cars around, what did you use?   Thanks!
