You get what you pay for. I wouldn't trust Maaco to paint anything.

Pleeeeasse don't paint it black. The white is so clean. Black is a pita. Also, you will definetly not be happy with a $400 dollar paint job. Especially on a new car that you are changing the color to its exact opposite. I can't even imagine how crappie of a job they woud do for that. i am betting that they wouldn't even paint the door sills or remove the emblems. just a tape and spray job. The best thing is to sell your car and buy a black one.

On a side note, I keep telling myself i will by a silver or a white car. So far i have never owned anything lighter than bermuda blue metallic on my Tahoe. Everything else has been navy or black.
Also, i am a little ocd about my rides and must spend my weekends polishing everything!

Well, thats not cool. I guess it would be bad since every chip or scratch would appear white.

I really want it black though so who knows.

In the mean time, can you get the whole center console replaced? I really hate mine, it does not snap shut anymore, and the inside is just one big thing.. no organization haha. I was just curious if they made something for that.
