Poison Ivy Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 Ali, belt line is next, but yes I plan to tape it off and use a lot of newspaper.
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 Ali, belt line is next, but yes I plan to tape it off and use a lot of newspaper. After Tigger is painted I'd like to use PD Smoke on the beltline, Being that the top is fabric, I'm just not sure that the PD will peel off as easily.

GreenCactus Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 Ali-I have gunmetal pinstripe tape that is the same width as the beltline. It's yours if you want to try it. It's a big roll, so I'm sure there's enough for a few MINI's.

It's a big roll, so I'm sure there's enough for a few MINI's. Oooh I didn't know they made it. Is it the right width for a skinnier first gen beltline? If not, where did you get it? maybe I can order one for Tigger. Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
GreenCactus Posted October 17, 2012 Report Posted October 17, 2012 It's 1" wide, which I think is too wide for Tigger. It's from Prostripe. I'll bring it with me on Saturday. Well, I'll try. It's in a box, so I'll bring it if it gets unpacked.

Brandy_Brown Posted October 24, 2012 Report Posted October 24, 2012 so after taking off her sun dried icky ones, decided that i did not like her without them, after pricing new ones thought came into mind plasti-dip. Here is the stages and finished product. Gunmetal grey main stripes with Blaze orange accent to match the lights inside. Going to make hubby open his own plasti dip install shop out of our garage, lol http://www.dcmetrominis.org/forums/image.php?u=1132&type=sigpic&dateline=1367319111

Tigger really smelled bad on the ride home after Craig PD'd the flames As long as the weather stays nice the way it has been, I don't drive the MINI around during the week. I'm used to driving without a headliner or pillars, I removed them from my Subaru when I wrapped them in suede. Well now you went and fixed it so none of this makes sense Pamela, are you still there? :hahaha: 03 BRG MINI S: Sold! 05 PW Scion xB: D2 Coilovers, XXR 531 16x8, Yakima rack, Yakima basket, WINK, Plaid interior, and a whopping 108 HP!
TGGRRR (Ali) Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 [ATTACH]679[/ATTACH]Check this mini out That's really pretty. I wonder how long that will last. I think Mike once dipped his whole car. MINIs are small enough that we can do this stuff. For the Dragon we should all PD the snouts to protect them from rocks on the trip down there and back Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman

TGGRRR (Ali) Posted October 28, 2012 Report Posted October 28, 2012 thats actually a really good idea like to the front bumper and front of the bonnet? I'm thinking where the clear bra would go. A few years back we tried road wrap and that was a spectacular failure, but we know PD and it will work great Tigger 2006 the cabrio and Riversong the 2014 Countryman
GreenCactus Posted October 29, 2012 Report Posted October 29, 2012 I found a plasti-dip alternative. It's really expensive, but if you're wanting to do the entire car, it might not be a bad alternative. Also, it comes in any color you want! http://www.alsacorp.com/paint_wrap/paint_wrap.html In case you don't want to get rid of all of your chrome, you can use this... http://alsacorp.com/strechchrome/index.html
