WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 2021 MINI Cooper, 2020 MINI Cooper, 2019 MINI Cooper, 2018 MINI Cooper, and 2017 MINI Cooper. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
General instructions and classification of paint stages are described on the KSD CD (under Notes, General information on flat rate unit data, Passenger car explanation for FRU specifications for paintwork).
The marked area shows the basis of area calculation for creating the flat rate unit unit. The marked area does not show the area actually to be painted. If touching up required, the painter defines the precise position as he sees fit.
Special procedure for matter paintwork:
Matte paintwork cannot be touched up since the painted surface cannot be polished.
