This is the real thing, had it done today. I went through many discussions before settling on these ideas.

Here's another of the back:

That is beautiful stripe work!

Who did your striping? MD is close enough to VA that I may take my MINI there to get striped. I really like the design!

Garfield · May 20th, 2002, 10:30 PM

Chuck at Jack of Arts in Ellicott City, MD. He's been doing it for years. As a matter of fact, I told him today that it's been over 13 years since I saw him last, when he pinstriped my first car.
BTW, although he does both, this is paint NOT vinyl.

AprilWhine · May 20th, 2002, 10:36 PM

Thanks, I'll give him a call. My MINI should be in around the end of June.

I'm glad to hear he works in paint. I had assumed it was vinyl, but I do prefer paint.

noahe · May 20th, 2002, 10:52 PM

Good stuff... That's actually really tasteful. It's even cooler that it's paint, not a decal.

Unfortunately, go faster stripes are not in my Cooper S's future. The missus doesn't like them.

alexcroft · May 21st, 2002, 09:25 AM

It doesn't matter if your other half doesn't like the stripes, coz your better half (your mini) loves them!

Now go dress it in stripes!

Brilliant paint job Garfield, getting my paint job done in 2 weeks or so, will post pics.

Alex.

ELISEBOY · May 21st, 2002, 02:08 PM

looks fantastic
how much extra is it for paint then??

is the S just for the Cooper S or does it have some other significance with you?

Garfield · May 21st, 2002, 02:27 PM

Extra? Probably not, the whole job was $350.

The S is the exact Cooper S logo, no other significance. But I think it's a great way to draw the red across the roof as well. And, of course, an "S Turn".

If it was my everyday driver, I'm not sure my wife would be as thrilled either. But, it's my race/fun car, so she loves it.

LMB · May 21st, 2002, 08:08 PM

Well it's different Garfield I will give you that.

Should get you noticed on the race track.

What series are you going to race the car in?

Garfield · May 21st, 2002, 11:05 PM

SCCA Solo II. In laymen's terms, racing around cones on a parking lot against the clock.

bennyboy · May 22nd, 2002, 10:20 AM

Love the stripes

Could someone photoshop them on to a black Cooper and remove the S from the roof. Much appreciated. I really want some kind of stripes but there are soo many variations to choose from - then someone comes up with something new.
