I figured it out, and I can not wait until I get this done. I'm going two tone on my car. I'm throwing one color on the bottom half / sides, vs. another up top, on top of the lines. For those of you who have seen koukis, you would know what I'm talking about with the lines along the side. Underneath is going to be "medium blue metallic" it's like a blue with a tint of grey in the sun, and on top will be BMW silver. **** looks hot. cant wait.

if you get the right colors, it'd look sweet. you really need to see the colors to see how the blend. they are very similar, and the tones work together. i would never do a dark and a light. this is like, 2 light colors, just one has a little more blue in it, the other has more silver. i'll post pics when i get it done.

aha, yeah my platinum is a bit darker, more blue. im doing the blue on the bottom, silver on top though. im not sure if i should go down the hood with the lines, or keep it to the sides.
