I'm curious as to whether anyone's done this...nothing tacky, like flames or anything...but maybe just a unique color that MINI doesn't provide.

Chet.

There are a few in Hawaii. There is a Silk Green MC with airbrushed turtles and then there's the custom painted Barbie MC. I've only seen pics of the car and it is Pink with a white top. I think it may be pearl paint, but I'm not sure.

Now you can't get that deep shine with vinyl!

That's gorgeous, Sarcux! That's a beautiful red.

An MC owner in my area added the aero kit and painted it and the wheel arches Dark silver and did the same to the rest of the body and added the S side markers so I is an MC in DS all over.

The pink MINI in Hawaii is pretty unique- painted white stripes!
