Someone told me to paint my alero, it was black before so I painted it white and left two black stripes:

Eh not for me, but it's about what you like not what I like and dislike. So if you like it stick with it.

Seen that one last week at Steeles & Dufferin in North York. Pulled up beside it and then cruised behind it for a bit.

just because the maintenance is too much for you, doesnt mean it is for others...

Yeah, it's not my alero. I just saw it crusing down the highway and decided to take a picture of it. I've never seen an alero with strips before so lol.

thought so... didn't think you would change from the burgundy lol... especially after you bought the intrigue to match!!!
As for the black alero... its a pain... does look nice when clean, but too hard to maintain for sure, and to colour match... mine is 2 tone for sure hahaha...

a few things i don like about black.
1. I have no problem maintaining a clean black car, I dislike black because if the body is not perfectly strait then it shows.
2. when your car is a deep black, then every other black piece of trim that has faded even the slightest bit will look like crap.
3. its generic, every person that wants a "cool" car picks black, just like every sports car is red. how original :rolleyes2:

not bad. I like the rear, could have gone a bit lower on the front but the width and everything doesnt look to bad... rims, headlights, maybe a few other touches would really help set it off.

Another like myself! Not saying that black is bad, but it just looks way too mainstream for my liking.
(Also, white allows me to hide my vehicles if I hit the ditch in our Canadian winters :lol:)

Isn't that every car color except colors that match dirt and/or rust?

Bright red and silver are the best two colors for the Alero in my opinion.

I'd take a black Alero any day. I used to have a black Grand AM. Damn I miss that car. Thought bout coming back to the N body game with a black Alero Coupe but I want it in stick. May have to swap to a G6 6 speed
