    handles can be painted, but u gota be careful to use the right paint and amount of it will look worse then the black ones lol

    Truth,

    also hopefully the paint matches lol or it'll look sketchy and flake off EASY.

    i'd just go to mitsu(even though i'd so much rather go a ghetto shop then the dealer) and see what you can do about the color :D

    /\ Some of the smaller paint shops can do it for a lot less but may sacrifice quality.

    LOL @ the pretty ones


    Most likely you can find them at the dealer, but be prepared to pay.

    try here:

    or you can always google it.

    Not true.

    Depends on the maaco. some are better than others. and if you go in for the $199 paintjob full car paintjob, dont expect an OEM finish. Pay a bit more, but less than some independant shops and you can get really nice results.

    I deal with a maaco here in dallas owned by a friend and his shop does great work.

    examples; my last car--
