Default TWO tone paint jobs?

Sorry if there is already a thread...the search came up empty though.

I was wondering if anyone has a picture of a real or photoshopped two tone z-28. My car is white w/ t-tops, and I'm curious how it would look if the top of the car was all black with the black paint coming down about 2-3 inches along the top of the fenders, doors, and rear 1/4 panels.

Here is an example of what im talkin about: (not exact, but pretty close)



the important thing is that the two colors meet only a few inches below the top of the fenders, doors, and 1/4s.

If anyone has found one, or is skilled in photoshop I would be VERY grateful.

My friend had an 89 Firebird with a two tone- bottom half of the body was black, and halfway up the door it changed to white.

4th Gen. Camaros/Firebirds are pretty well rounded on the edges. I think that styling works on some of the older boxier cars, but I dont think it would look too hot on a 4th Gen. Would be cool just to see one though lol.

I've seen a two tone paint job done two ways. One is like your first pic but another follows the paint scheme of the black and silver Ford Harley trucks with the curved part at the front fender. The guy posts here but I couldn't find his thread with pics of the car.

Actually here goes a photoshop one of the members on here did and hopefully he doesn't get mad for messing with his chop but I added the curve to it in paint to see what it would like. Now that somebody else has actually done it though I won't be painting my car in that fashion since they beat me to it.

Jvillescamaroz28, I actually really like that setup. Very different, but that's one of the few two-tones that I can say I like!

Also, that chop of MadIceV8's car looks great!
