looks like gold to me. add a red stripe and a saleen front it would be a vert copy of your car.

i really like 25ths color combo but now its been done on a vert too. I think I might be still on my black and white with yellow split. Anyone want to try to photoshop it together for me?

it actually doesnt look half bad. I am not sure about the black mouldings on your car. I would paint those white while you were at it.

Sorry this is the only pic I have of my Mustang when it had the 2-tone paint job. It used to be like that about 5 years ago, now she's all primered waiting for me to decide on a new color.

P.S. Hope you don't mind me working on my Trans Am.

B&W vert. Did it look right? I guess it did since you must have had it awhile. No worries about the TA. Probably my 2nd favorite if not number 1 car i've ever had was my 72 GTO

I thought about doing something kind of like this to my car. I played around with a lot of different ideas.

k, here's one I modified with and without the yellow stripe

Yup my vert had white moldings, and just a thin red pinstripe which separated the black from the white. Looked pretty awesome IMHO. But now I'm seriously thinking of getting her all white again.

One thing I have seen that looked just great for someone stuck in the middle is two tone, but the colors being very close. An idea I have had was black and a really dark burgundy. Or say a really dark blue along with black. Something like that. When you first come up on it, you think it's a solid color, then you look at it some more and it's "is that two tone". I guess you call it a "ghost" effect, like ghost flames.
