How much to paint front and rear rings, grill trim

I havent been able to take my car to get a quote, so I figured I would ask what people paid to have their rings painted. I just want to get an idea to just if it will be cheaper for me to just wrap them myself or to get them painted..

thanks in advance!!!

Chris,

Each “set” (headlight, taillight or grill pieces) are 65.00 each. I am not a vendor here but I also don’t make a dime on this. I offer these at my cost for fellow Mini owners as a courtesy just because....

HTH’s,

Mark

Hey Mark. Are you talking $65 for painted or wrapped? How does this work? I need more info.

65.00 per set painted. We don’t wrap. (can’t rhyme to save my life...)

Once I get my Coupe in, I'll reach out to you. I'm having a hard time with all the chrome I am seeing in pictures of the Coupes.

Do you usually need the cover for the tow hook?

Yes, even though I can look up the paint code, I like to tint the paint to make sure it matches as close as possible.

Hmm, I like the bodycolor look, so I may pick up an extra set of headlight rings and have you paint a set, Mark.

That way I can go back if I (or Ashley) doesn't like it. :D

Let me know... I can also pick up a set from the dealer. (it’ll save you shipping the new parts from me) I’ve got 3 sets on order now.
