Want to see a good looking pink car? Check my gallery, the second page.

I believe in my abilities, and if I can do it myself, I will! I take pride in doing projects, so therefore I believe it will be super when its done! After all, its not the paint, its the person who's painting it.

More pics of your MINI, please.
pinkmini, can't wait to see the finished product. I've been trying to decide whether to do a bit of PW in El Kabong's interior.

Monica and PinkMini
Monica, Welcome to NAM! Don't let my wife see your car or I'm in trouble.....
Pinkmini, thanks for the shots, I was thinking of doing the same for my dash (different color) but was a bit intimidated by the work (if it doesn't use a wrench or calculus, I'm scared!) But your photos show that a little attention to detail and patience is all it will take.
Post more after the clear coat!

Just to let you know...the part you are painting on the tachometer comes off very easily. You just take the two screws out on the back of it, and pop the two pieces in half. Then there are some tabs that you lift up to remove the plastic ring.
This way you can still drive your MINI...just without the ring around the tachometer .
