Pleas get on esimilar to what you got and have it painted. Your car looks very good as it is, although, the CF-arches would look great along with your Burberry cap I guess. On 13th Jul, 2012 Ben H said:

A good painter will paint a new arch and blend into the rear 1/4 panel with no problems.
I seriously doubt it! |

The flip effect is created by the way the various coats are laid up. The only way that it can be repaired without ruining the effect is to repaint the whole car as no matter where you spray up to it will show. Blending is absolutely a no no as you'll have a hard line in the effect even if the painted surface is perfectly blended in (if you understand what I mean). It's the main reason I try to talk people out of flip paint, even though as Feeb's car proves it can look awesome!! I think feeb's is doing the best thing and going for a contrast and as he already has carbon bits on the car it'll look intentional. Every day is a school day ...........

I know how the paint is done and i know its tricky, Ive seen this blended at work a few times, no worries. If i had my workshop still, Id do it.

dont the angles the paint is sprayed at have to be exactly the same for it to look the same and change the same way?

The 13"x7"s i had on the last mini i bought were so horrible/dangerous to drive i put them straight on ebay, and ended up getting more than what i paid for the car!! hi joey! no it drives really nice, i drive it everywhere, what suspension did you have?

Paul .... I stand by my previous comment that whoever can do it will get very rich very quickly if the chavs find them ....... If that's your work then good luck to you.

Flip paint can be blended as weve done it at work , it is hard as every painter paints differently, when we do anything fancy its allways written down wots been done, eg ground colour , and how many coats of colour and flip .
