concept 2 tone
well cars going into shop weds, and since car is getting painted (from ******* salt truck) im putting a lil cash into it to get whole car resprayed and 2 toned,
had my G/f photoshop me some ideas and i think this is what im going to do.
now the black will have a slight red flake in it, also it is going to have the same perl over the black as the red does.
update painted

my other idea was to stop it at the back glass body line and not do the trunk but i think whole top is better

Yeah, sorry. It looks better with the normal OEM paint. Other two tones might work, but the inherent problem with most two tones is that it interferes with the natural lines of the car. Any car. Some cars don't have lines to appreciate or even see, other cars have lines that this would compliment, and with either it could be a neutral impact or a positive one. The 8s doesn't have enough straight lines for this to compliment at all.
In the end, it's your car, your decision, but you asked for opinions.
If you are really aiming for a difference visual with 2 or more paint colors, might I recommend pulling from the Grand Am GT RX-8s for inspiration? I know these colors are all over the place, and some of them are "helped" by the logos, but it's a place to start with in your mind
(This one is actually a blend of the #69 and #70 paint styles, since the 69 moved to another team)

I've always thought that twotone style looked good 
.
Maybe try extending the black just below the headlights on that curvature line, then up behind the headlights along the top of the front fender to where they sharpen off at that sidemarker.

It doesn't matter, a resprayed car already sees its value sink. That kind of paint job will make matters even worse.
That's from an economical\collector\car enthusiast point of view, if you like it then who cares.

He should be okay.

I love my 2 tone...everyone has their own taste and opinion...and you are the one that makes the payments. Make it your own. Some people like my paint job and some dont. But all that matters is that I like it. I think it looks good on the red in your photoshop.
