I LOOVE my aveo

you can pick almost any color and a good painter will be able to match it, or you could ease the tinting process by picking a pink within their paint system.

i wouldn't pay a shop for painting brakes, i cant even begin to imagine what they would add on as far as charges, removal, bleeding, new pads and rotors (since you not technically supposed to take them apart then reuse them its a liability) i wouldnt do the drums in a color, thats like advertising you cant stop..

but you could buy rims, and drop them off, and not be without a car either.

Ohh ok lotsa good ideas. I think if I were to get more painted I would just do calipers not the rear drums, but idk. I gotta search around for some other rims I really like that would look good with a pink lip. Any range or idea how much it would cost to have rims painted, I know it varies . Orr anyone know somebody that can hook it up for me?

[petrified.rabbit]

where are you located?

i would think @ $200 to have the rims painted, maybe $300 for the two tone. i bet you can get it done cheaper though.. but its different in different areas.

i would offer but the cost of shipping both ways would be more than the savings. and i would hate to ship rims that were freshly painted in a box..

Oh not bad, you sayin round 200 for all 4? I sure hope so haha. And I'm in the chicago area, burbs outside of there.

[petrified.rabbit]

yes $200 for all four.

If your going to get your rums painted I would go with powder coat. It cost a bight more, but is much more durable. I always powder coated my bike frames.

[VeoLicious]

Ok yeah I've heard of powder coating. What's the difference? Will it still look the same?
