MINI has extended its program of exterior paint finishes for current vehicles to include an brand new option.
A Frozen Black metallic paint option is now available as a limited edition color for vehicles that include the MINI Countryman and MINI Paceman, according to a company press release.
The new color is available for the MINI Cooper S Countryman, MINI Cooper SD Countryman, MINI Cooper S Paceman, MINI Cooper SD Paceman, MINI John Cooper Works Countryman and MINI John Cooper Works Paceman.
The new paint job, which has a "textured, shimmering matt finish," gives the car a "striking and expressive appearance" unlike anything else currently offered by the automaker.
This unique painting procedure is being applied thanks to Austrian production partner Magna Steyr in Graz, the same place the MINI Paceman and MINI Countryman are manufactured.
"Attached exterior parts such as the model-specific front and rear aprons and the exterior mirror caps are finished separately in the paint finish Frozen Black metallic," said MINI in a press release. "Due to the labor intensive process used to apply this exclusive body color during production it is limited to a restricted number of cars."
The finish is reportedly weather and car wash resistant, though hand washing will require "special care," according to the automaker. Using wax or polish can leave a gloss effect on the vehicle which will affect its appearance.
Products designed for treating the Frozen Black metallic paint finish will be made available by BMW.
