I've been trying to come up with a good 2 tone scheme for my SS. The problem is there isn't many options for break lines in the paint. The body molding is one place but much higher than that and it looks out of place. The gap between the flare of the fender and bottom of the mirror isn't all that big and might look funny if done up that high. I just need to have Chip Foose come up with one for me!

There was a SWEET Camaro speedster that was black/orange in SuperRod I believe sometime last year. I have the issue somewhere around here. So far it is the BEST 2 tone job I have seen on an Fbody. It had the right lines that really set it off. Made me consider doing my car up like it.

I think I saw that one on Horsepower TV when they were showing air ride suspensions on a road course. There is some one on here with a TA that is lime green/gunmetal, its different and looks pretty sweet.
