Roof Color

[speedman]

I have a 2005 Cooper s with the white roof. I want to buy some touch up paint and there are two colors listed Aspen white 899 and Pepper whit 850. Is there a way to determine which one I have without buys both colors and trying them out?

I know that by 2010 or so, the white roof color was the Pepper White. Not sure about the earlier cars.

Unfortunately, even modern paints will fade and change color slightly with age. So your roof might not be either of those any more. You can get them and try, but there are no guarantees.

A good auto paint shop will mix paint to match, but usually way more paint than is needed to do touch-up.
