right i wnat to respray my mini completely when i get the bodywork sorted, preferably in two-pack paint, thing is is the original paintwork celly or not, its a 1986 city e

Also to complicate matters i want to put offset cobra stripes down the whole mini!

Hey

The original paint on your car will not be celly, bit there is a chance that it would have been re-sprayed in celly, in any case you can spray 2 k paint over it.. but USE BREATHING EQUIPMENT... not worth you health for the sake of a spray job.

As for the stripes you can key the surface lightly, mask up with fine line masking tape and then paint, or for a simple solution get vinyl lines cut, easy to apply and
quick also. If you change your mind you can remove them at a later stage.

Lol I've got a few of those but don't fancy painting in them, after a hour in them it gets pretty uncomfortable you have to wear a layer underneath them otherwise the charcoal will comes off as you sweat, a one piece light weight painters suit is fine.
