Two tone paint

[EDM95]

I need advice on how to make a two tone paint job look good, with out looking tacky
I was thinking of sunset pearl and gloss black. If any one has any pics of two tones that would be helpful. Thanks

If you posted up a picture of your car, someone can photoshop it for you. But then this thread would have to be moved

These arent pictures of a sunset pearl and gloss black two tone. But you didnt specify you wanted pictures of only pearl and gloss black two tone paint schemes so im guessing you want any pictures of two tones. Here's Misterio's 95 Talon -

here is a link to my cardomain page so you can look at several angles of the way I did my 2 tone paint job: http://www.cardomain.com/ride/2612015.

If i could go back I probably would go with black and red.... and not paint the wing and the end of the hatch black.

Thanks more pics other colors i need ideas. Im getting closer to painting my car im thinking macco maybe

I dont know if you've looked into Macco or not but from what I've read about Macco paint jobs on here it seems like most of them start to peal really bad after 1 year or so. Others say it depends on what Macco paint shop you go to/ who the painter is there, and others say to do all the prep work yourself anyways.

In this thread post #7 - 9 & 12 talk about Macco paint jobs they've had.

Also, this thread and this thread are specifically on Macco paint jobs.

Post #38 in the second link i posted, Ludachris sums up everything everyone has been trying to scramble together to make things simpler.

Hmm i think i might wait and not rush it. I dont want it to look bad

I went to macco to see how much it would be to paint my car.
They went and looked at the car they asked what do you want done to it.
I told them i want them to fill in the holes where the old spoiler was and to fix a chip on the fender and to smooth out a fiber glass side skirt that was cracked and paint it. Then we went inside he gave me a paper with the total cost.
With the original color which it would be $1170 and if i wanted the door jambs painted $50 each door.
with a no peling warrenty because the car was primerd.

$1170 is nothing, all that will buy you is a cheap paint job that will look horrible.

 

[EDM95]

Yes it will.
