Hi
Anybody know what paint mines use on the cam covers?

 

[Jimbostir]

It looks like a wrinkle paint but what colour?

 

[samgtr]

Purple?

 

[FRRACER]

Plum Purple.

 

[Jimbostir]

Which plum purple? It looks like a wrinkle paint in the pictures.is it? I've always liked this colour on the rb26. I've never had the chance to see it in the flesh. If anybody knows exactly please share!

i`ve had a search and can`t find anything with the code for these, however from a post a few years back, apparently you can send your old covers to Mines and they will paint them for you.

bit like nismo, i dont think they offer this service now

as people like to paint them & claim its a MINES engine.

Hence why they wont give you the paint code i suspect.

Its more grey than purple.

 

[FRRACER]

You must be colour blind mate

 

[matty32]

not on the picture you posted (that is purple)

when you see a mines engine cover in real life its a bit of a mix of purple/grey

best way to view it is look at either Aki's or NickM's

better res pics on that link

it is more purple, but they wont release the paint code sadly.

(although totally understand why)

 

[Jimbostir]

Yeh it's more of a subtle mix of purple. Is it a wrinkle finish Matty?

 

[FRRACER]

I do agree with Mines not making the code available, why would they, so people can claim their engine is made by Mines?

 

[Saifskyline]

Have a look at the Endless RB'S their purple looks better imo
