Need Advice With Two Tone
1 Attachment(s)
ok. Long story short. I get to paint my car and i want it two-tone ( grey/black ) the picture attached is very close to what i was thinking but i was wondering if someone had a better idea and/or more pictures of different two-tone 8's.....the two tone job must consist of painting hood, roof, and trunk but im not sure where to make the colors meet.
and in the picture dont mind the sub. i jsut took this from another post to show what im talking about for the two tone idea |
heres the link to my other thread that has all the pics of my car as of now.

Have you tried searching? There is a lot of 2 tones, most of them are the same as the picture you posted, minus the front bumper part that's painted.
|
yea i searched two-tones. but i dont just want two tone as in carbon fiber parts switched out for normal parts . i want to paint the whole cabin including part of the bumper. or something along those lines
|
car went into the shop on monday. im going to be about 3 weeks without it but my dents are getting fixed and im doing the two tone. its going to follow the line that goes across the whole side of the car and up. and the front is going to come to the bumper and stop at the center grill. ill take some pics once i get it back :) :Eyecrazy:
|
so they painted it and im going to go see it after class tomorrow so ill try to get pictures up if i can
|
so i went to the shop and snapped some pics of my car. it comes out tomorrow. im getting a red pin stripe but they had to order it and im going to paint my calipers red. and re-paint my tailights. also going to paint the grill glossy black and possibly painting the black bumper piece and the front lip but thats undecided.

Looks a little funny to me with a stock body. I love the two tone, but I think it would look better if it had a kit. Then again, kits are expensive. Keep up the good work.
|
i agree, it would look alot better with a kit but its out of reach for no. :/ but eventually. for now i love it how it is :)
|
One thing I've seen for a 2-tone that looks great is start with a nice color in the front-top (VR) and fade to black (BB) in the rear-bottom. Looked great.

If all else fails...
