Imported some white wall tyre paint from an agency in the USA. PITA to apply. But results are well worth the 4 days it took.

I saw at some car shows I went to there is a company that does this... with all sorts of designs and what not. Can't remember the name now.

The paint cost R500 odd. But the prep on the tyres is such a ballache. Soak sidewalls in bleach for 2 hours. Rinse with water. Wait 24 hours. Clean with thinners. Wait 24 hours. First coat. Wait 24 hours. And then 24 hours between each new coat. She need 4 coats...

How much did you get for the green mini in the end?

Sold her for R3K. Was a rolling shell at the end. I kept the motor and a lot of the ancillaries (since they were all nearly new - most of which have gone into the ratty).
Still have the weber / motor / radiator and a few other farkles that came out of this car. All up for grabs as SO says the garage is starting to resemble a workshop...

Vinyl or how'd you apply?

Vinyl graphic. SO's hairdryer (thanks Babe) and a spraybottle with a few drops of sunlight. And 1/2 a Saturday. Has a few bubbles and I had to cut-to-fit a few pieces. But that the beauty of the stickerbomb. Hard to stuff it up. If you make a mess. Cut out and stick a new piece over. Genius actually. My daughters idea to be fair.

Very nice! Mind me asking where you got it or made it yourself?
 
Thanks. Actually picked it up from a Midas ages ago. It stood out because its Marvel theme. Have been hanging onto it for a while.
