JCW GarageInterested in John Cooper Works (JCW) parts for your 2nd Generation MINI? This is where JCW upgrades and accessories for the MINI Clubman (R55), Cooper and Cooper S (R56), and Cabrio (R57) MINIs are discussed.
Looks great...getting ready to buy the same one. Doing black wheels and going to black out all chrome and finish the fender flairs to a smooth painted finish..in black of course
+$250 for shipping and figure another $300 for paint.
No offense Red Bull but where are you getting it painted for 300 bucks, Maaco?
I painted my own kit and even with the discount we get (I own two bodyshops and buy $3000 per week in paint materials), it cost me almost 400 JUST IN MATERIALS.
I would think depending on the shop you take it to, you'll have between 800-1200 in getting the entire kit painted.

No offense taken....I own a custom paint shop and spray high quality paints. I was refering to my cost, should have stated that. Even spraying PPG DBC2000 would be less than $400.00

That makes sense now.... We use BASF (Diamont) so costs would be a little higher than PPG but I personally wouldn't spray a kit for less than a grand.
couple comments, I have painted all the molding on my 09jcw. sorry not sure how to post pics or i would. feel free to email me and i will send to you. Next, installing the kit is very easy. You might break a tab or two , i did not break any the 1st try so just take your time. again, its easy just be sure you get a good painter who knows what to do on the black molding, that is the trick.
Mine cost me $800 to have it painted. Just throwing that out there. I still ended up saving about $200 by installing it myself though (and I got the immense satisfaction of a DIY gone awesome).
Morristown Mini quoted an unpainted rear without trim for about $285. Anyone know of a good body shop in the LA/OC area?
I know a place.. Called Marcos autobodyshop. I had bunch of my bmw m3 stuff painted over there... paint quality is nice... they work on euro cars a lot.. Talk to a guy name Steve. He may be still be there... if not.. Tony i think (asian guy... he is a the manager) Just bring him the parts you want painted to get it qouted.
Also, call Chris @ Southbay MINI. He knows guys in southbay area who does good paint work. He likes to fix up his car too...
BTW, here is mine. Just got it maybe 3 weeks ago. Now i have tinting done.. kinda too dark...
