Thinking about two tone paint

[Jaym14]

So I'm thinking about making my car a two tone with either a black top or bottom (leaning towards bottom) and possibly a thin silver separating line. Take a look at the pics and give me your opinions and ideas. Also, what do you think it would run me? I got a buddy who does custom resto's thats going to take a look at it for me soon and let me know what he thinks also. Just an idea right now

Well it wouldn't be hard but it may cost ya, since you'll have to yank the whole car apart and respray the whole car,even tho your keeping the orange it will have to be recleared and completely wet sanded and buffed. There's a kid around me that has a GT with Cobra ground effects and is painted black on tip and candy orange on the bottom and it looks awesome. It doesn't have the silver break so it looks a little cheaper. I think your car would look really nice, but then again it does look clean as hell already!

Go Black on top! The silver will break it up nicely as well.

I agree with 25thmustang. go black on top. You have a pretty car already, but the two tone will really set it apart from everyone out there

 

[Jaym14]

Thanks for the opinions, I'm going to investigate this further and work on some photoshop mock ups.

I vote for black top as well

Another vote for black on top here. It will blend in better with the black trim, and tinted windows. It looks awesome on 25thmustang's car.

Thanks, the black top works perfect with the windows and window trim etc... IMO of course.

I would also look into a different set of rims. Race looking wheels look good, but on two tone cars, a street type rim looks better... once again IMO only.

Agreed 100000%

To the OP, I think those wheels you have on there now makes the car look very plain and boring. I done such a terrible job on this I don't even want to post it but it shows you how much just changing the wheels will change the whole look of the car. I'll have sometime later tonight and I might redo this picture, and actually put some effort into it. I hate posting bad work, but, I feel it gets the point across enough for you to change the wheels and keep the ones you have for track duty.

that photoshop is badace lol ... it always amazes me when i see a good photoshop, i cant do it to save my life lol ... i vote black on top and maybe with some 03/04 cobra wheels, always liked those.

That photochop looks pretty good with those rims.The only thing i dont like is how the black goes straight across instead of a slight arch to it like 25ths car.Other than that i'd go for it.

Yeah, it was easier for me to make one click than a few. Like I said, it's very rough and was done very fast, I hate I even posted it but maybe it'll help him out.

Am I the only one that thinks the car looks great the way it is? Maybe a set of black saleens will change the look a little?

Thats badass bro!! Exactly what I had in mind... I really appreciate you taking the time to help me out!

I do love the car how it looks now, but I can't deny that that two tone would be a real eye catcher I agree about the wheels though... I love welds, but I've wanted to get a nice street set for a while but I've been holding off b/c I'm doing a cobra brake swap soon and I'm going to do it all at once.

 

[rbonella]

I have black Saleen wheels that would look killer on that two-tone!

 

[hsean]

don't do it your car looks great the way it is if anything get some nice black wheels for it.

 

[25thmustang]

Do the two tone, with the silver stripe in the middle, then tint the windows a bit, then some nice 17s or 18s and it would look amazing. It does look good as it sits, don't get me wrong. But I think it would be an improvement to change it that way!
