Very nice. I have not been able to convince myself to powder coat wheels to black. Maybe I should photoshop to get a better idea. I feel like the beauty of wheels is immediately gone. But the full stealth look is also very nice.

Touch up paint

Has anyone found good paint that matches in an aerosol can? I've ordered from scratch wizard before and it was horrible. TIA

First mini!!

Finally got my first mini. It’s going to replace the mustang.


It’s a 2011 MCS. EG was my first choice so I can’t believe I found one in my price range. I absolutely love it so far! Picking up some jcw wheels for it tomorrow morning. I haven’t decided if I’m going to black it out yet.
