Great paint job, you will never be in stealth mode though.

That is just awesome.

How long does it take to do a project like this? I assume you did not do it yourself.

Whoa - that car is JACKED!

Nice work. I don't think I'd have the stones to do something like that.

Did you do it for $$? Are you getting some sort of compensation for that?
If not... wanna?

Wow Jer...you Jacked it, alright. You must keep that car forever, ya know...cuz it's gotta be one of a kind.
LOL..when I saw your post, I thought you just did the roof. That's what I just did on mine, but grey tone UJ from Cooper Flags.

You should send a pic to MINIUSA....but tell them you want royalties if they use it

I recently took Sprog II to its third car show. I've won two awards in the past before I painted the flag on, and just won another yesterday with the flag on - People's Choice for Best Import Car at the Bowling Green car show. I find it funny that these MINIs can win awards... before I painted it, the only thing special about the car was the fact that I had it immaculately clean for the shows, and one show I had an Italian Job banner on the bonnet. You guys should try taking your cars to shows... you'd be amazed at the attention they get... always fun to have a trophy or three sitting around... now I've made it my mission to collect as many trophies as possible... never been an athlete, so I could never get any athletic trophies as an ego booster.

Here's the car at the Bowling Green show... finally got the polish residue off the black trim by using Giant Eagle creamy peanut butter. :smile:

WOW, looks great! I painted a helmet union jack, its a hard pattern to do! About the show thing--I go to a weekly show at our mall that doesn't offer prizes, just people getting together with cool cars. Anyway, when I pull in, I attract just as many onlookers as the NSXs and C5s. Its pretty cool. Sorry for rambling, but i love your paint job!!
