I've been thinking about repainting my car a different color for a while now. The two tone thread got me thinking about it again, so I did a couple photoshops. What do you guys think?

This way I could change the look of the car without repainting the whole thing. The color I would be using is a metallic charcoal color that I've used on a couple other parts of the car.

And I used it on the stripes on my parents car. You can see it looks almost silver in the sun, and almost black in the shade.

The tint is going to be darker but theres no tint on the whole back window if you can't tell. hehe

He ran out of vinyl to cover the dot-matrix, so I'm taking it back today to get the back window done.

Should make the front windows look darker once that's done.
 
I too like the paint schemes where it changes at the body line. But that's a lot more work as I would have to repaint pretty much the whole car. Painting just the roof would be easy. I could probably have it done in one weekend. :)

Just for fun I'll do a another chop later when I get time.
 
I'm thinking I like it better with just the top black.....

:stupid:

Yeah, you have a different hood, spoiler, front and rear bumpers, headlights, and rims. Our cars look completely different, other than the color. And I won't be painting my roof black like yours, it's a dark metallic silver/charcoal color.


I think I'm going to go ahead and do this sometime early next year.
