I've been experimenting with color combos...
(i) all dark silver (thanks to Partsman, I got factory paint which is clearly better than anything that comes from any retailer)
Where did you get this paint? was it spray paint? Was it expensive?
Ah, come on now, black can look good, well at least I like it.
In regards to the Joey on your headlights, the chrome around the light bulbs looks very dark. Is that due to the reflection of the black in the headlight, or have you sprayed it?
There is LaminX tint on the headlight covers. I did that before I did the Joey mod in an effort to darken the headlights, and just left it on after the Joey mod. So depending on the amount of daylight, they can look almost completely black.
Thanks Phil for taking the time to post pictures and a tutorial. I've been waiting for that from someone since June! You got spray paint from Mini? I thought MinSpeed was the only place that sold factory colored paint?? Great Job man!

I have a body shop supply store near me that will put factory colors in a spray can. I have never used it(i have a friend at a body shop that does my stuff) but I guess it's pretty good stuff according to Phil.

Can you hook a brotha up?!??! I'll obviously pay for it and shipping, assuming it's reasonable.

I don't mind getting you the paint, but you may want to shoot DrPhil a PM to get his take on it first.
BTW, while you're at it...ask him how it much it was. I honestly don't remember with the shipping.
I have a DS 05 MCS & went with flat black, wish i had pic's 2 show u. looks great with the black scoop, aero grill's, no bonnet stripes & black headlight rings. looks almost identical to Dr. Phil's & get lots of compliments...have fun
