Are you talking about color changing stripes? What colors do they change from and to?

 

Yeah they change about 5 to 7 different colors depending on how the light hits them and you angle of viewing. We sell paint called Chromalusion by Dupont Automotive Finishes but these are done with vinyl. The vinyl that we bought changes from blueish purple to green to silverish red to gold.

 

Hmm... Depends on how drastic you want to go. Im trying to find a way of tieing one of the colors in the stripes to the interior as an accent. You might be able to do the same so the stripe color doesnt overpower the PW. Are you planning on modding the mini any more?

 

I have pin STRIPES. Does that count?

 

Mods will come but not anytime soon. She's thinking maybe to use the color change vinyl in some other way. Maybe to highlight the black sport stripes on the car on make some other design..

 

Ya outlining the sport strips would be a good idea.

My Wifes Current stripes:

and will tie in my new wheels nicely with my seats:



So maybe I can get sponsored:

 

Nice, I like the Ghost stripes.

 

I love doing Black and red themes. So what's the plan.

Great job on the flat black Sports stripes.

 

AllBlack05S:

Hers - The black on black is really nice.

Yours - Are you going with red stripes or flat black as well. Also, I LOVE THOSE WHEELS!!!!

...and Red Stripe

 

Thanks the install took me most of the day because I'm a little nuts, I mean detail oriented. Plus its my wifes car so she gets nothing but the best.

As far as mine goes, I'm trying to figure out what touches of red to do.

Definitely have to get rid of the chrome. I am looking for red mirror caps to trade for the chrome or the black from the wifes car. (Hers now are low gloss black like her scoop, and joey mod)

I'll do some kind of red stripe(s) not decided on size, quantity or location yet.
May red out the belt line and see how it looks. Same with door handles and gas cap. Phannarith wants me to do the spoiler in red, not sure on how that would look.
As far as the boot handle goes if nobody trades me a black or red one for the chrome I'll have to wing it. I can always paint it black

Thinking of doing the red carbon dash from Cooper Gear too. Black gauge faces.
I don't want to over do it.

 

Gorgeous!!!! I love that matte black look. Simple but so well done!

 

Nice!

 

stripes on a Dark Grey are soo touchy for me....

but here are my ideas...



or



thoughts?

 

first!!!

 

+1 for first - like the way it ties in the mirror color

 

+2 for the first try it maybe with the ds scoop

 

first

 

had fun with paint today...

 

I am a fan of flat black but that looks good

 

yeah, i was wondering about that myself..well see how it goes, if not, ill switch over later. easy. plus try and pry off the side markers as well

 

Looks great -- now you have to do the middle grill.
