Sorry, I would post up pics, but my wife is in class for a while. At least I got to wash, clay, polish, scratch-x, glaze, and wax my truck in the mean time

 

Yeaa, his name is megabitez. Its funny when we drive together because of the color matching and hood scoops. He jokes around saying we race my car would fall into his scoop .

 

man, what a small internet world. i haven't really spoken with him directly, but i know exactly what truck you are talking about. has he not had any luck trying to sell?

it's been up for a little while now.

 

WTF is this an actual term? Now I feel like a retard.

Wow man, that is a nice looking Mini. Vinyl is some pretty tough stuff to work with. Why did you choose that over paint? Cheaper? Removable?

 

Haha, yea its a real small world! I see your a member on the forums haha. Heres a car show we all went to with the XR group. (The green ones my fathers)

Lookin good. I remember those pics. They weren't from all that long ago.


Here are some updated ones of the Mini with less chrome.





Grille done

Headlight rings done


Rear Bar done

 

Looks GORGEOUS. I was sitting here thinking that something was missing though and it hit me...

I just figured out what you need...

These:

Wow, very nicely done. Too bad I am too afraid to try something like that for some reason. When it comes to visuals, I am too chicken. Props it looks friggin schweeet.

 

Yup, that one is on the list. I'm sure it will happen soon enough.


Thanks man. It's not hard, but painting does take some technique.

 

It looks good, but how is this any different than the standard "plasti-dip black out" that's so popular on this board?

 

Nothing, I would assume. I don't have the money to be a whole lot more different or original. Luckily my wife doesn't really know much about this stuff, and for her it's a big change.

 

Vendetta, you should black out the belt-line, it makes a world of difference.

 

Yeah. That on the to do list along with the tail light rings, door handles, and headlights.

 

I'm getting close to the complete Storm Trooper Mini. Still waiting on my handles and emblems to arrive any day now. I have been researching gloss black rims also.

 

This is insane. Your MINI looks amazing and nwo i want to jump and do flat black wrap on mine. Maybe it will a project i tackle some day.

 

not sure if this counts as stormtrooping, but here is mine

 

Yes, and it is SWEET. I like it!

 

Finnnisssheeddddd :D




Ok I'm done mucking up your thread. Sorry!

 

hmmm..... must find a way to Falconize my MINI. Can you imagine a Wookie in a MINI???

 

Okay, after that, we need to re-title this thread, "MINI ****." That looks so awesome that it's worthy of dropping the F Bomb!

This is really easy don't be scared at all. I was scared as well. So i went out and bought PlastiDip and jumped at this project at 1am. The nice part about PlastiDip is that if you don't like the way it came out let it dry and peel it off. Thats what got me through it and a few beers. I know have everything done but the door handles. I have confort access and i didn't really want to mess it up with paint. I will be ording the molded covers from AC. Other than that it was easy just take your time.

 

Forgive me if this was already asked (gr8 ride btw), but what did you use on the wheels to paint them black, anything special?

 

^^^^ I used plastidip on everything. It's been a few months, and everything is holding up well. Smalls chips here and there, but it would happen to a painted surface as well.
