It gave the playful little car an unexpectedly elegant, almost luxurious look, especially with a contrasting white or black roof and chrome details. The colour suits MINI hatchbacks, Clubman and Cooper S models of the period, and it is a stylish choice for other modern cars that need a rich brown. Spray it over a grey base and finish with a deep gloss clear.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003ch3\u003eThe problem with metallics\u003c\/h3\u003e\r\n\u003cp\u003eMetallics are unforgiving.
