So, at one point my car was driven into a curb or something, screwing up the front valance. Some shitty shop did a poor job fixing the hole, and a worse job repainting it. I just washed the paint off the front of my car at the car wash.

So, I was considering doing a little two-tone paint work, and now is an excellent opportunity to do so. My question is, how do you think this scheme would look on my Desert Green Coupe.



Gunmetal rims, dark green body, with a graphite or similiar trim along the lower half of the front bumper, the side skirts, and leading back to the FK diffuser that I don't currently have installed on the car (but would if it were painted something other than silver).

Sadly, I'd leave out the bright orange/green trim around the grille. Aston Martin can keep that, its too connected to their cars.

 

I suck with photoshop, thats why I use Gimp, but I suck with that too. This is what I'm talking about, but probably darker. I need to play around more. That took me about 40 minutes to get those stupid parts gray.


Input? What do you guys think?

 

Painting the car will lower its trade in value if you ever decide to trade it in. I used the exact same paint code but just added some blue and white ice chips and the dealers were really crazy about me repainting thinking it had been damaged. It not trading in later then go for it. I also found that you should keep the factory rims too for trade in purposes. I lost a few $$ there in trade in cuz they said they would have to put stock ones on to make it more saleable overall.

 

Or do Lower like you photoshoped and then your upper from the c piller and quarter panel up in the same color with roof an half the hatch back.

 

As the sig says "I haven't met a car I couldn't wreck"

I don't trade cars in, so thats not an issue. Actually, even if I never do total this car (I never plan to), I'd never trade it in, just add more cars to the stable.

So, with that out of the way, what do you think of the 2 tone idea?

 

Second TTry... darker look better? Kinda think it needs to go a shade lighter now.

 

i think that you should match the bottom to the color of your wheels... my 2 cents

 

So that'd be closer to the color in pic #1....

I'm suprised by the lack of responses here. Nobody reading past the thread title? This is the one question even someone with NO TT experience can answer!

I'm gonna change the title.

 

i want to paint mine white and black... i like the way two tone looks on our cars... however, id rather put the money into other stuff rather paint cause black still looks good

 

I like the scheme in the first pic, my only thing is i dont like the lines the TT gives you to do what your going for. You might have to take it through the door also.
