Simple recipe for Excitement: Take 1 Classic Mini. Throw in 1590cc's of engine. Add 5 gears. A dash of 94 octane. A sprinkle of style inside and out. Toss in 1 MadMan and finally heat tires and pavement to taste. Recipe produces 1 Mini VTEC conversion and full satisfaction. Motor on!

Hi you guys!
need help with a paint preparation, I am in the process of painting my classic mini restomod, (pictures soon to be posted). Currently I am debating between 4 OEM mini colors from the 60's.
Honolulu blue, BU42
Porcelain green, GN17
Old english white, WT03
Florida green, GN01
I need to prepare 4 samples of these colors, (1/16 or 1/32), in order to paint a sample surface and make my mind on the final color for my car.
So far I have been unable to find a color shop able to work with these codes, they are telling me these are old colors so the tints used on the formula are no longer on the market and they dont know the reference with the current tints they work with.
I am guessing they could be right, since these are formulas from the 60's and tints have changed over all these years. However, I am aware these colors are still used on these days, I have look at cars painted with these colors but I dont have a matching part I could use to prepare the paint.
Any one out here is aware of a color shop that could prepare me these samples?
Thanks!
