there is a member on here thats done it and I always wanted to 2 tone something. The car is silver so that will be the bottom color, and black on top since the roof is black already. Some may like it, some wont. O well.

The pic are from a member on here. I've seen alot of 2 tone designs and this is all I really like. Mine will be black on top, silver on bottom and split with orange.
Reason for the silver is that is the car is silver factory and Im not goin to paint the door jams, under the hood, etc....
Reason for the orange, well I like orange alot. I have had a fox body mustang orange and a 1998 1 ton dodge Hemi orange.
And well, black is def. a fav. color on any vehicle.

Don't pinstripe.... Paint the orange first... Just paint the areas where the dividing line will be.. you don't have to paint the whole car orange... The use fine line tape and tape off where you want the orange stripe to be... paint the silver let it dry and then paper the silver off and paint the black.... untape everything and clear... It will be real nice that way

I am. Own a shop with my brother. Im not a painter, but one of my friends works for me and he paints. He knows whats up. haha thanks though
I'm 2 toning mine later this yr as well and I'm definitely interested in your finished product. 
I'm kinda liking that vette chop..just not sure about where the stripe dips into the wheel well. Is that the look your going for? Or changing it up a bit? Cant wait to see it finished

No, it will be more like the TA pic i posted. I have pics of where the stripe will roughly be. The chop of the vette us from a game and just did it for the hell of it. haha
