I am thinking about going satin black with orrange.

So please could one of the kind photoshoppers, do me my mini in satin black with orrange arches, wing mirrors, bumpers, side strip and bonnet stirps.

I know its alot to ask but i would much appreciate it. I can get a different picture it it makes it easier for you.

Methinks 2006 will be known as the year of the orange mini!

Snap!

Talk about a non-common colour... :'(

To think when I decided to do it, hardly anyone was thinking about going orange....

To think when I decided to do it, hardly anyone was thinking about going orange....

I think it was more a case of quite a number of people were going to go with orange, in fact I have some renders from back in late '04, but most people were keeping quiet hoping no one else had the same idea!

But this is the other way around - black mini with orange details...

[Tomf]

Yep im either thinking of going satin black with orrange or satin black with lime green. Im eith going lime green or orrange because they are my favourite two colours, i was thinking make the orrange and green together but i thought that was to OTT.

Nah go with the Orange and Lime...!

You'll be surprised how aposing colours can actully work together!
And Satin colours, are a PITA to clean!!

Sounds good fun.... and 'Mr sheen' is a great cleaner for satin paints according to the bikers lol!

I would seriously sit down and think about what you're doing coloiur scheme wise, If you ever have to sell your mini, how many people will want that luminescent paint job?... it may well de-value the car

but i'm not gonna sit here and tell you what to do on your car lol, I think it's a cracking idea though mate and I say if you like it, go for it.

however without the lime green......

Wheels need changing thou!

How about Chrome?

[Tomf]

Yea, the wheels would defo need changing. I think chrome would look lush but i have only ever been told bad thing about chrome wheels. So i was thinking maby black wheels.

[Dog]

yeh only problem with "a certian" companies wheel is the Chrome peels off...

Personally I'm not a fan of Chrome wheels, but you say black?

IMHO, I think too much black will ruin the car!

I mean, Black body n roof, Black tyres, and black rims, the wheels will be hidden!

Why not follow the them of Black and orange onto them? Paint the rim orange, and maybe pin strip the edges of the "blades" to highlight the edge, and have the wheels Glossy black...?

[Tomf]

Yea good idea Dog it sound nice. I might go with an orrange roof instead of Black as it will add a bit more life in to the mini lol not that a mini doesnt have enough as it is lol.
