Wow, that's stunning. I looked up HOK and will be interested to hear our experts' views. Good luck!

I think you must be American, since mini's have gearboxes and not transmissions, and they definitely don't have transmission tunnels! :dontgetit:

Anyway! I think they look good on the right car, although I prefer period colours. I like the idea of having different colours for interior and exterior!

House of Kolor paint is great stuff...... but as you've already said SO EXPENSIVE! We get a local body shop that specialises in H-O-K to paint custom sub boxes etc, normally around £350!

Our demo car was painted with H-O-K paint in the states before we purchased it, a total of 103 different colours, all airbrushed. Attached File  chevy1.jpg   102.45K   41 downloads
