|
Sexxxxxay!
I want to get the little things inside the side vents chromed. My chrome guy thinks I am purely insane. |
Absolutlely awesome looking....How long did that take you? especially painting the red stripe inside the rims....
|
Looks great Richard! (from another OBSSSD). I really like the details in the side vents. Well done :thumbsup:

Sweet. Can we see some before and after shots of the interior?

That's a great looking and unique mini! good work octaneguy and good taste! :thumbsup:
|
looks sweet! you should do the scoop and headlight rings (maybe even the door handles) in red to continue the red/black theme.
although my signature pix doesn't show it (i've slowly blacked out all the chrome and the hood scoop - still need to do the door handles and trim around the windows). i've actually been thinking about doing the deck stripes in black, then painting the roof and spoiler black with the red rising sun or maybe painting the roof and spoiler red and doing the rising sun/deck stripes in black! |
Nice. Lots of attention to detail. :thumbsup:

Me... I would paint just the scoop red and leave the headlight rings as they are. CooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooL ! |
Thanks everybody!! I really love my car soooo much, now that's its truly personalized. Just took a trip down to San Diego--covered some 250 miles this morning to pick up my Scan Gauge II from a WCMer and it was a pure joy.
The painting took 2 days at my powder coater. Basically I got the wheels stripped, then took them to the powder coater. They prepped them, then coated the red ring. Manually masked the ring with little strips of tape. Then coated the rest in 20% black satin and baked that.

I've thought about the handle in red, but looking at the line on the drivers side--black gas cap, door handle, black/red side vent--the red seems too strong.
