My fourth MINI, picture number two in the series. My fifth MINI ordered March 15. Just in time to get it ready for the ArcticMINI Translabrador run in January.

Anyone want to come?

Plastidip is readily used for alot of the trim pieces. One guy even painted his entire car with it from spray cans.
The beltline, I believe www.outmotoring.com has a black vinyl beltline
available.
Don't know what all trim pieces you are talking about blacking out.
Maybe you should list them.

Contact orangecrush on this forum for paint, or a local body shop.

Orangecrush's work is great.
