what do you guys think about 2 toned paint?, going to be painting the celi soon, need some input Options

[easternpiro1]

whats up everyone! im going to be painting the celi soon (finally) the paint on the roof and hood are starting to chip away and its embarassing and getting on my last nerve, so i decided to have the top half of the car painted black (along the celica's sexy @$$ contours) and the remainder an emerald green of sorts...its hard for me to describe i think some of the 04 mustangs come in the color i like. i saw someone photoshoping pics of their car in several color options, can someone show me what a celi would look like in the paint scheme i just described and opinions? (please no flaming)

[easternpiro1]

thanx for your opinions! theyre greatly appreciated!!

well do that and paint your rims orange.

[lilsteeg]

no go black on top and dark grey on bottom, and black rims, i dont like 2 tomes unless a pro designed it like chipe foose

[JFrost9]

Ive been wanting to do this too.. But i want to go Black on top, and then a dark or light silver on the bottom. If i was to go with the light silver i would probably go gunmetal or black rims.... I had a guy draw up a pic and did some coloring.. and i really liked the way it looked.. The only thing im tryin to figure out is whether or not i should include the hatch as black...

The guy also said he could put in a white thin stripe along the side to compliment the bullet fenders and the curves... kinda like some of the stock ones have, but thicker, and having a black outline.

does this sound decent at all? I love the grey/black colors.

I almost wanted to do this, but it wont look to good because our celicas dont have the right lines for a 2- tone job. You would have to make a line to seperate the top and bottom, and wouldnt look very good unless you have an eclipse or a camaro which already have the seperation of top and bottom.

thats what i thought at first! where to have the colors separated. then i looked at where the pinstripes are (originally came with the car) and i noticed that they go along with the lines of the car (if you notice how our cars bulge out right under the side windows, i would use that line and just follow it around the car. i know somebody has this paint scheme and it looked pretty decent, just cant remember who...it was black and silver if i remember right.

sounds good to me! its original, not many people go with that paint scheme. and i would go ahead and paint the hatch black too.

really? who?

[celicagurl152003]

um hi.....had thecar red and black two tone for about a year and a half.....take my advice...two tone looks good but like the others said if you want to show off the body curves don't do two tone.....definatly hides the cuves.

[thatcelicaguy]

that is ugly as sin

[easternpiro1]

ah celicagurl! was wondering when you would pop up! my scheme would be something like yours except teh lines on the side would come down a little lower like 4 inches and the hood would be painted. i was looking at yours earlier today!

that is ugly as sin

you should see what it looks like now tho.

[ILuvMyCelica95]

I would have to disagree with that last statement on the basis of my opinion of flames on a car. But either way, playr is being a big douche, even if you don't like her car she still probably has feelings(not that I usually care about feelings).

[zachattack15]

Im really suprised no one has posted the picture of doggys car when it was photoshopped in two tone silver and black with the CF hatch. IMO that was badass.

[easternpiro1]

uh oh...this has headed south....plyr....be nice!

oh man i wanna see it.

[playr158]

hey i just said it looked bad don't cry about it....

if you read her thread i actually think her work is really good and quality is good...i just don't like the style of her paint choices...i'm not being mean i'm just stating i think the style is bad but her actual work quality is good...


and doggy's car was actually roof painted black...bottom silver

[celiracer]

I think the only two toned would be the black top silver bottom or vise versa

you know that would help us get an idea of what a celica would look like 2 toned if it were ummm anything close to a celi, and tell him 2 get rid of those rims

[celicagurl152003]

well.....either way it's all good, i've learned not to let "comments" bother me anymore. As long as I like the car and I'm winning trophie's apparently I'm doing something right......to each his own :-) ....I like being different, that's the way I am, I don't want something that every one else has

[easternpiro1]

you tell em celi gurl!! im still kinda mad at ya for not meetin up at nopi!! ya gave ol' piro the cold shoulder!
