Default two tone paint job
ok guys i got a question for everyone.....my car is originaly black....im painting somewhat of a two tone...the hood the roof the side panels of the roof and just the bolt on piece of the spoiler and just the top not the bottom.....the top is going to be a really dark metalic blue with silver flake.... but not a lot really....

so my question is should i do the berger panal or whatever the same color as the two tone ? does anyone have a pic of a car somewhat close to this and will this look good....

and for this to loook good, youre gonna need to at least have the top few inches of your fenders painted blue for if to flow correctcly with the body lines IMO. as far as the berger, leave it black like your bumper will be, since the bluw paint is going to stop on the topside of the spoiler.

leave the panel alone. Just do inserts in the other color.

agreed 100%. or another option is to have the panel filled in with body filler and smoothed out, i think with a two-toned paint, less is more, and ommitting the "camaro" from the rear would look great

it sounds like ya arent too familiar with bodyshop and paint stuff. you arent actually doing this yourself are you?

if so, you need the thin blue tape they use for taping off flames and stuff. 3M makes it
