If they can stick to those prices (painted), those will be the first things to go on my Mini after I recover (financially) from the holidays! Right on!!

That is the price they told me. but they said to ship both of them would be 40.00 to Utah. No to bad, unless someone knows a better place to get them!

When you buy a pre-paiunted set from them, does the resulting color properly match your car if you have a metallic color? I have a Hot Orange cabrio, and it looks like they used a metallic undercoat followed by a orange top coat to properly get the color - you can tell this by looking in the fuel door. When I look at the fuel opening, I can see a silver inner color where the orange color layer is thinner, anyway.

If they just use a flat orange, it won't match properly, even if the actual HUE of the paint is exactly the same (since the subtle metallic sheen will not be present). Has anyone with a metallic car used this service and can speak to the quality/match of the paint?

Thanks!

These would be factory painted

Not painted by a body shop. Exact factory match because they are painted with the same process as the whole car is when it comes down the assembly line.

Your best bet to get ahold of classic is to give them a call. I've dealt with Steve there in the past and have generally had good results .

Here's a link to their vendor listing.

Classic Mini Parts made mention to "factory painting"...

There's no such thing for the Aero Kit- The dealer delivers the factory un-painted aero kit to a local paint shop where it's painted & installed. Just like the JCW suspension- This is not done at the factory. I know this for a fact because the local paint shop made several modifcations for me when installing the Aero Kit (I noticed hundreds of take-off bumpers waiting to be hauled away by a garbage truck). They do use factory Mini/BMW paints & follow the factory instructions for painting & installation.

These parts are "Factory Painted"

They are not sent out to a local shop to be painted. That is an option if the customer wants but we do order them from the factory already painted. Like I said in the post above we can order single pieces " factory pre painted " and some full areo packages or just primed. If your dealer says that they can't get it pre painted they are wrong or uninformed.
