Gallery: The Flaming of the Mini (view more Galleries)

Created on 06/10/2003

The night (and day) that we took a perfectly respectable burgundy mini and turned it into a beast from hell. (still only does 55mph though)


The arrival of the beast

Little does it know what's in store for it

Evil Kaiser B takes the first roller..

Reg fills in the holes.

Fully blackened and charred. Smoking.

Next day, the chalk outlines of the flames go on.

Delicate scalpel work to remove the masking.

Those flame shapes in full..

Spraying begins with 2 undercoats of white

Then the yellow (Ford Signal Yellow), then the orange

Then the red, all 3 colours graded back into each other

And the finished result!

Beeyootiful!

Next to a new mini, for size comparison
