Debadged and Blacked out
Alright so I debadged the CooperS and blacked out the MINI wings. I also painted the rear control arms.
This is a huge help. just pry the wings off
The wings will leave holes. 2 in the back and 3 in the front like this
I masked off the MINI lettering
rattle canned
front:
rear:

to take them off I used the sticker lifter in the first pic. It comes with some goo be gone that you can squirt on. then just pried it off with the given device. to put them back on I used some all purpose 3M adhesive

RUC, If you wanted to do some good masking work I think it would be really cool if you did the circle in white and then alternated the high and low parts of the wings in red and white. I dont know if that makes sense without looking. anyway post pics if and when you do!

Excellent job on the black badges, now how about that chrome around the taillights? And get rid of that chrome license frame.

I sanded them but no primer. I suggest Duplicolor's spray paint for plastics.
