Custom Paint Graphics

Instead of putting magnetic signs or graphics on my Mini, I would like to have the graphic painted on the car. Does anyone know of a shop that does custom graphics/paint for cars - airbrush prefered.

Thanks for the reply

Gosh Darn - you are right, NJ is too far for me to motor. Wish it wasn't the work would be great.

Marty- I would try asking people in motorcycle shops. That might get you the best of luck on custom paint jobs. Good luck and I look forward to seeing it when you get it done.

I'll give them a call and see what else they can do for the MINIs and if they would like the press, I will post the name.

There is a paint artist

who has done MINIs out here in Colorado Springs. I saw his work on a BRG S and what he did was silver and gold flames, sides and bonnet. Amazing work since you could not see it from a distance. Up close tho, and at the right angle, it was fantastic. Very subtle and professional. Classy.

I will not post his name and number here but PM me and you can contact him.
