So in continuation, I've painted my stock hood scoop black.......('twas originally Pure Silver)........

 

Pic # 4.

 

Nice job!

OT your work space looks alot like mine.

 

.....and, we would like to see it on the car, when it dries out.

Thanks....

I was working out in the living room. I'll take a pic of that later for ya! Hahahaha.

 

Looks GREAT!!! Very nice!!! :smile:

 

Very nice indeed You car and mine are both very nice

 

Is it just me.. or does the car look like Snoopy now?

 

inspirations..... I want to do the same thing... You wetsanded it before the spray, right?

 

 

that looks great!

i was hoping to do the same thing but wasn't too sure how to do it... want to give some advice?

 

shut-up

i did the black-beltline, painted the chrome side vents to black, got black mirror covers, something was missing, D00d

 

I like the looks of the black scoop on the silver.

I like the mesh grill too better than the chrome ones that came on my car.

 

u know it!!

but yea u did all that black on ur car huh? i thought u were going to keep sum, keep sum it will l00k better in the end

black scoop's on grey Minis? i LiKE it! i guess.

 

yeah, my car changes all the time, d00d, now all you see is black on HB, sweet, will post some pics.

 

Very nice looking. I like the contrasting.

 

that hood loook sooooo big without bonnet stripes.

I'm actually thinking about taking mine off now, it really makes the car look different.

looks good!

 

I did a TON of wetsanding.

The whole trick (ask me how I know) is to actually have LOTS of running water while you sand, not just a little...You need some major water flow in order to get a nice smooth finish. I only have 1000 grit right now...which is ok....but I plan on ordering some 2000 grit....

Sure, check out my other thread as there's some details there... let me know if you have any questions.

Going for the whole black/pure silver theme...I couldn't STAND the stock MCS grills...so I did the aero grill mod.....

Thanks, I think it works best with PS, DS, and PW....but then again, I like all the Mini colors!

Thanks, I had the magnetic black bonnet and boot stripes for a while...but I never really got the feeling....So I chucked 'em.....

 

Now, up next......

As you can see, I will be paiting my down tubes, my CLOCK, my Cooper side marker grills, the top of the dash, and the tweeter pod/door handle cover.....

 

I hope you never gave your cat them black Stripes as a practice run

 

Please tell me you're not spray painting in your living room.

 

I love your cat man, he owns. Your own little helping elf

 

........i think he is !!

 

If it helps at all I rent and don't have anywhere else to do it......
