i was thinking matte black or gloss black on the top and pearl white from the windows down. any opinions on the color or rims that would look good? or any pics of a 2tone like that? P.S. if your wondering why the hell it was painted like that in the first place dont ask me. i just wanted the 20det with 30K miles

hatch or coupe?

i think most hatch 2 tones look silly, unless you run flares and reverse the color scheme (white on top, black on the bottom)

well actually i think the darker color should be on the bottom reguardless... idk just personal preference

to WC touche with that picture

I was instantly thinking it would look like a f***** up police car.Or you could do it and rock a sheild on the side and really get some looks.

NO....most people will never be able to get a decent transition between the two colors. If you decide two tone...go with a black and a grey and seperate with a very distict color like green pinestrip line. Believe me it is very professional looking to keep color tones closer together. I learned this in body school.

i agree but a stock bodied coupe can pull it off. if i ever got a coupe it'd be an andes mint one

black and grey with a green pinstrip? i dont know about that. and i have not been in collision repair school yet but i 2toned a gmc 2500 purple and white with no pinstrip and i love the way it looks. and black and purple are close enought in color. but i would like to see what a paint sceme like the one your talking about would look.

(New turbo and gasket set came in the mail this week)
