      Paint!

      Hey, I am looking at getting some feedback.

      I am in talks with a local paint shop to do a custom paint set-up on my Aveo. The car is already Icelandic blue, I have been talking to the paint shop about going back with Icelandic Blue (as close as possible), with metallic flake and heavy clear coat.
      Any thoughts?

      What's the price estimate? That would be the main factor in my decision.

      It isn't cheap, I will tell you that. Standard paint is (all together) about 1190.
      This paint job will be around 1600 (give or take). Not a big thing, I don't mind flipping the bill if it will look good, and I am pretty sure it will.

      does it need a repaint, or you just want to spruce it up?

      It's new, it doesn't really need it.

      It is more just to make it a little sexier..
