The 2 tone paint looks better than what I figured.

The hood idea is unique, but I'm not too fond of your paint schemes Sorry

I think it'd look better if the whole top (hood, hatch, roof, basically everything about the "beltline") was black or dark grey, like seen on the car below.

I kinda like the second paint scheme. It's a really good idea, just needs to be tweeked alittle to match the body lines. I bet it would look good in person, those stripes seem to be becoming very popular. I believe Mr. Foose can be credited with bringing those back.

I like your ideas, really like the two tone paint scheme.

I'd like to see Spanky's suggestion of a two tone paint scheme around the belt line.

I like the half and half paint scheme and the hood. But I think that 2nd paint scheme is kind ricey. I know it didn't start that way, but it's become that now....

The hood idea is really cool I think, but the two tone reminds me of the paint scheme that was available on the early C4 vettes in 1984-1989. Not too crazy about that at all.

Your car is simply beautiful though.

Not liking the paint or the hood. Do a photoshop of the top half of the car a darker color like that GN.

Like I said, I was bored so I figured I'd shoot some ideas that people may be intrested in. I have a ton more, just didn't feel like creating them (probably later on I will). I did do a two-tone photoshop that I was actually going to do to my car almost a year ago. Here's a attached picture of it:

I like #2 ALOT! I was actually thinking about doing mine in black, but the colors flow together better with your scheme!
