hey all,

i'm searching for, and can't find a thread that contains a post
by someone who painted the 'mini' letters on their OEM rally light covers.

(now that i finally have my mini) i'm curious to see what type of
paint they used, and how it's held up.

any help is greatly appreciated.

thanks,
S-

 

no love for painted rally light covers this morning?

thanks anyhow,

I just used Model Paint and about 8 coats:

 

thank you very much bb!

you know, i thought that's what it was, but needed to make sure.

i haven't bought a bottle of testors in years...

thanks again!

It has performed rather well. Testor's paint just needs a quick touchup now and then and it holds to the pastic VERY well. Resists wet snow and rain and wipes clean. I recommend you head to the Hobby shop right now....

Come on go....
Stop reading....
go...
you will enjoy the ride in the MINI....
it's not expensive either....

Any better suggestions?

 

*nod* as i realize how right you are
*crash* as mouse clatters to the floor
*thud* of socked feet padding towards the door after receiving direct order
*choke* as boss grabs my collar and spits, "where'er YOU goin'?"
*gasp* as boss can't believe more people haven't done such a cheap & effective mod.
*cheers* in office for bb!
