The new colour and finish is available\u00a0for the\u00a0MINI Cooper S Countryman, MINI Cooper SD Countryman, MINI Cooper S\u00a0Paceman, MINI Cooper SD Paceman, MINI John\u00a0Cooper Works Countryman and\u00a0MINI John Cooper Works Paceman.<\/p>\n<p>The Frozen Black metallic paint finish is created using a complex\u00a0manufacturing process exclusive to the BMW Group. This special\u00a0painting\u00a0procedure, which involves not just innovative technology but also a high\u00a0level of manual craftsmanship, is now being applied for\u00a0the first time\u00a0by Austrian production partner Magna Steyr in Graz where the MINI\u00a0Paceman and MINI Countryman are produced.<\/p>\n<p>The\u00a0special surface treatment\u00a0encompasses the base layer for grip and corrosion protection, the colour\u00a0layer as well as the clear lacquer finish\u00a0which has added silicates to\u00a0create the matted impression as well as the velvet effect which can be\u00a0seen and felt.<\/p>\n<p>Attached exterior parts such as the model-specific front and rear aprons\u00a0and the exterior mirror caps are finished separately in the paint\u00a0finish Frozen Black metallic. Due to the labour intensive process used\u00a0to apply this exclusive body colour during production it is limited to\u00a0a\u00a0restricted number of cars.<\/p>\n<p>INI point-out that Frozen Black metallic is of the same high quality as the other paint\u00a0finishes available from them in terms of abrasion resistance and colour\u00a0fidelity. The finish is completely weather resistant and car wash\u00a0resistant, however hand washing does require special care as spot\u00a0cleaning of the surface using wax or polish can leave an unwanted gloss\u00a0effect. And of course, for this reason the BMW Group offers care products\u00a0developed\u00a0specially for treating the Frozen Black metallic paint finish.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I just read where MINI has just extended its program of exterior paint finishes for current\u00a0models to include an exclusive new variant.
