Put it in a rattle can or give you the paint as well? __________________ BMWCCA #403399 2012 Mini Cooper S Clubman, 6-Speed Loaded 2001 325xi, Winter Package, 5-Speed Traded 1998 318ti, Active, Automatic, TOTAL LOSS R.I.P. 10/20/08 Bilstein Sport Shocks/Struts .

They will mix for you to paint with a spray gun, spray can, or one of those little tube things for touch up. Good luck. | | | 01-07-2008, 01:08 AM | #5 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 | alright thanks. ill see where's the nearest one to me then.

A few minutes. The first time I went in I spent almost an hour chatting with the paint guy about what I was doing and getting advice and instructions from him. The second time, we talked for about 10 minutes before he got around to mixing my paint. If you're just straight in straight out and he's got no jobs ahead of you, 5 minutes tops. | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
