Paint Job?

[Spats]

Yeah I Have Two Twon Black Vibe And i wanted to hear some peoples opion on what to do i want it to be one color but when i get my rims i dont know if it would look good or not with that two tone on there;and i want to know if they are able to paint that plastic part on the two tone iam not sure? Thanks Guys!

I think it's pretty tough to get the two-tone cladding repainted, or so i've read. I actually think the two-tone is more stylish than the monotone, but that's just one opinion.I'd go with some black rims, that'd probably look sweet!

a 2 tone vibe is just a 1/2 painted vibe.the lower half is just unpainted, no reason why you couldn't paint it

With your Abyss Vibe, the cladding doesn't contrast as much as with other lighter colours. Save your money and put it towards the nice wheels instead of paint -- I've seen some gunmetal rims with a chrome lip on the circumference that look pretty sharp.

Hey, question for you. What is the 3m protector film? Where did you get it? Does it work? Basically, anything you can tell me about the product.

Spats, if you would like to get an idea of what your Abyss Vibe would look like with black rims, I have enclosed an image of mine.

I had a two tone lava, and gunmetal rims do go well with it. I'll enclose a pic of what my Vibe looked like with them.

if you have a 2 tone, i think gunmetal rims are the best way to go. ties the color of the cladding in nicely and looks pretty sharp.

I have to agree 100% with Hope on this one. The all chrome rims with cladding looks odd. It's like blinging without blinging if that makes ANY sense at all. Gunmetal is the best way to go.

Gunmetal might be a good idea, but here are a couple more in black:Savedbyzero's Fliks:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=10557My Enkei MM2s:http://forums.genvibe.com/zerothread?id=11000

I got a set of gunmetal Tenzo R Mean6 wheels on my Abyss two tone.I chose the gunmetal over the silver Mean6, I thoght it would fit better with the dark grey plastic on my Vibe. The gun metal color is a little lighter than I'd like but I was actually thinking of doing the very thing your wanting to do, paint the lower grey plastic gunmetal to match my wheels.
