Paint code for my white roof

[Ferroequine]

I have a few stonechips to fix on the roof of my BRG/W MCS. I ordered touchup paint from my local MINI/BMW dealer. When I picked it up, it was not in a MINI bottle but rather in a BMW bottle. The colour listed on the BMW bottle is Alpine White, but the parts gal tells me that it is indeed the correct colour of paint for a white MINI roof.

Can anyone confirm, or does the paint need returning for an exchange?

I was always lead to believe the colour name is Aspen White, not Alpine White, but whatever it is called, the Colour Code 899 should be on the bottle somewhere. If it isn't, it's the wrong white.

As your MINi is over a year old though, don't expect a great colour match, as 'new' white paint will never look the same as paint that has been subjected to the elements for over 12 months.

According to the accessory brochure for when you order a spoiler its Aspen White
