 Topic: Boot and Bonnet stripesPosted: January/28/12 at 10:17pm |
|
So I wanted to finally pull the factory bonnets stripes off of OREO and do something custom. The challenge is I used Aesthetic Creations in the past and it looks like they're selling down their inventory as if they're closing shop. I could be reading more into it than there is but the selection is smaller and they're having a sale on stripes until they're sold out.
So, does anyone have a recommendation on where to get some custom stripes done? I know what I want, just don't know where to go at this point. What I'm looking for is two colors, one gloss and one flat so your run of the mill place likely won't do it. Todd |

Thanks for the heads up John. I found what I want and have a few quotes. The challenge is I also have something else in the works for OREO so it's a matter of priority.

Does anyone have Fred's number or email? I'd much rather give him my money if he can do the work.

That's what I'm looking at, flat center with gloss pin. I've found a few places that will do it as a two layer.

It might not show dirt as quickly as gloss black. What did that cost, does anyone know??

Guys name is Adam he just got the coupe a couple of weeks ago it was the BLK JCW that NW Mini had on the lot, I think he is a south ender. He has a facebook link that you can find on the Coupe FaceBook page.

This car was sitting at Seattle MINI for I don't know how long.
The matte black looks really great on any performance car. I have seen matte black Lotus Elise at the Tokyo Motor Show several years ago and they had a Lamborghini Aventador at the Seattle Auto Show this year.

Not sure about that Kurt , this car was bought January 29th by Andy Cote from Northwest Mini and they had Warp Jax do the work, He traded his 2011 S in on it.

Interesting. I saw a wrapped coupe inside Seattle MINI during the week of snowmageddon (I even took a picture of it - looks exactly like this car) - maybe it was waiting to be bought or maybe there is a twin?
UPDATE: Failed memory - I saw it at Northwest MINI on Jan 26 when I went down there to pick up a part for Slyderone! |

The green one that NW Mini has looks like someone took a spray can and painted it. I just don't get that look. Must be an age thing.
