6G Celicas Forums

Hey, I'm trying to figure out a good way to do a two-tone paint scheme on my celica. I want to do it Black and Charcoal. Just can't seem to find a way to run a good line to cut the car. Any ideas???

unfortunately there is no real good line to cut the colors.... two tones distract from the curves of the body imo

why ya getting rid of the web??

if you do it you should fade it from black on the bottom and then charcoal on the top

i've always like how Matt did his:

here's a few other examples:

yeah i miss the ninja turtle and it wasnt even my car lol. good luck on the two tone, but most two tones contrast ya know, black and charcoal are pretty similar, but a good paint shop can make it def look nice go for it.

Gettin rid of the web because I got bored with it thanks for the advice, I'm not taking it to a shop though and never will. I do all the work, inside and out, and love taking the credit

yeah... i think a little fade from bottom to top would look good

The ninja turtle looks the best way to two tone! Just flows as naturally as it could on a celi imo! That could just be the choice of colours though. Some look so right and some look soo wrong...whatever way you do it, i hope it works out and good luck

If I were to do a 2 tone I would do the hood - up in between the water channels on the roof- and down between the spoiler on the hatch. There are lines there that draw it out. I think it would look good.

i think it looks really good on my car...but thats just my oppinion..its not too high but its still noticable...plus i have the rims to match...wasnt 100% on it when i got it but i really like it now

i'd go for the split just level with the bottom window trim

yeah, I'd go with the window trim line all the way down, or go with the ninja turtle. I love the ninja turtle, might do a paint scheme similar to that myself.

i have just got this done to mine

That's all you're going to give us! More more more! lol. Are you going to get the bonnet done as well?

I know I wanted to do a black top on my white Celica. But it like it was mentioned, there's no real place to put the lines. It would've involved a Carbon Fiber hood and hatch.

i demand more pics.

pix....NOW

you do know youre going to have to put up more pics!

here are a few more im glad you all like it

Interesting. Never seen a two-tone like that. I'm assuming that its the same on both sides. Catches the eye, yet still clean. Good work.
