B4



After

 

looks really good, just tint the tails

 

Plasti-Dip the Door Handles/Pulls!

 

Looks much better. Just door handles and maybe some black rims.

 

yah i need 2 go pick up another can i already used the 3 that i got = i need to find some time to do it it's a pretty had job i think.......im doing the rims in a month or 2.

 

yah soo far i have to do the following .

- tint the TL's

- plasti- the rims BLACK (in a month or 2 )

-the door handles

- still debating weather or not i should put on the gloss viper strips that i have:rol l:

 

maybe you should think about the stripes after you black everything else out, looks pretty good without them, but you never know, could look good with the viper stripes too

 

i dont know well i just have the door handles to back-out .

 

If it were mine I would think about selling the Gloss black stripes and think about flat black stripes. By the way that Blacked out Belt line looks GREAT!

 

Agreed! Black Rims, Door Handles and I think the Flat Black stripes would look SICK!!

yah im going 2 go 2 sticker city and c what they can do 4 me .


BTW: I know most of you guys cut the trim off the tap 4 the bed line i just leave it on and you cant see anything ...:thumbs up: ... it was realy worth my 3 buck

 

Are you going for a matte look? Your tinted hl's look really matte and not glossy- i'm assuming light output (esp becuz its halogen and non xenon) has been reduced quite a bit... i did the joey mod on mine because of this, plus it gives it a tinted look by having a black inside- the mirrors look plastidipped, i think with the black roof/ a-pillar glossy, the mirrors would match better being glossy- you can find them on ebay if you're looking carefully for ~40$ sometimes.

otherwise, looks good!

rims next!

 

Yah i am going more for the matte look because, it matches with the plastic surrounding the whole car. and The tinted HL's are not really bothering me yet + my car is a lease for now soo yah i would joey mod em if it wasn't..im going 2 do the rims in a month hopefully .the handles in a week or 2..

 

looks great, I would agree, Black Wheels!!!

For Plastidip.. do you guys just tape the surrounding and paint on it?? what's the best method? i want to black out the chrome lining around the car too... or a matt finish...

and what brand and where did you guys get it?

 

I think by chrome lining you're takling about the beltline. You need to get the beltline blackout kit from outmotoring.com . And yes mask surrounding area before painting. You need to score a line with a razor blade or exacto knife after every coat because plasti-dip dry into a sheet of plastic. You dont want that sheet conneted to your work or it will peel off when you peel the tape off like if your painting embloms.

 

what are you painting?

 

I would suggest removing whatever you want to black out instead of painting over it (except the door handles they r a bi*** to take off from what i hear ) they r very easy to take off and put on .Also for the bed line u can just buy black electric tape vinal and apply, don't stretch them 2 much!!GOOD LUCK

 

thanks for the tip guys.. I have so many projects i need to do for the MINI...

 

I am so looking forward to the warmer weather it is so much easier to work on suff when it is warm.

 

I didnt plan but somehow i got all my mods in the week when it was hot here....worked out great for me.
