For the parts overhead I used a vinyl and fabric spray paint by duplicolor. And for the doors, gauges, and pillars I used an indoor/outdoor flat black paint from rustoleum with a primer first.

The outside is white, i can totally understand it may not be for the average mini driver but its used as my company demo vehicle you can hate the colours/design etc all you want (thats not aimed at you at all dude) but as long as the quality of the workmanship isnt questioned we will be happy with that. Whatever colour you choose would be physically impossible to please everyone but its the green popping off the white that actually gets your intiial attention on the car so far its been a great tool.

Thanks for all the comments

Hey M444ssy, are you located in Germany? I swear I saw your car here the other day. I'm in Stuutgart right now on business. I saw a nice MINI the other day and it reminded me of yours. Not by the interior, but the exterior.

Wow. I love the green breaks under those wheels. and the green tow hook is nice as well. The CF A frame looks amazing with the wheel selection as well.

It's a shame MINI doesn't offer a pure white -- that white with the CF accents looks amazing

I know I think a white MINI like the Alpine White for BMW would look amazing with a nice set of black OZ's I'm surprised that it's never been available because I would have certainly bought one.There's someone on one of these threads that wrapped his in white looks awesome .Can't find the thread though.

I have seen vids on youtube of people painting guitars and similar pieces. Did you do this yourself? If so, could you provide some info? type of paint and hints on how to? thx
