Default *Photoshop Request* 95 Accord Two-Tone

As Sherly is getting older, her paint is started to oxidize and fade. The thought of a complete paint job has crossed my mind but she's not in terrible need save for her roof skin, trunk, and hood. So I've been mulling over the idea of a 2-tone scheme but would like to see it first.

I was thinking a charcoal or silver top leaving the bottom black with some sort of dividing pinstripe (unsure of thickness) of another color (possibly red or orange). If someone could please work some photoshop magic on her, I'd be very greatful.

IMO you should keep it black or go teal!

Repainting black is the current consensus but the two tone if done right is f'ing sex-zee Just want to see it

I painted my old DA two tone, it was cool for a bit but then I expletiveing hated it, so I repainted it all white...

From my experence, i'd just paint it all one color. A fresh black coat would look great on that Accord man!

Really? I do love the black, but it's so hard to keep clean. But when she is.....

The car looks gorgeous as is. I'd leave it. Just throw on some nice wheels, and maybe a little bit lower... and it's finished.

Thansk but I've yet to find a set of aftermarket wheels that just make me say "hmmm" (save for the M7's but that's $$$$). If I ever happen across the right set maybe.... but I love the OEM 7 spokes. She's on Neuspeed Sports with Illuminas now and I love the ride, won't be changing it until the full coilover setup goes in.

Two tone on anything but a street rod . My opinion, don't do it. Get a decent all black paint job and some wheels instead and you'll be set.

Thanks for the mock up. Looks more grey than silver but definitely gives me a good idea....... Definitely swaying me back to standard black.

<FONT COLOR="green">New question</FONT>. Are there any REALLY gorgeous black paint codes out there? Doesn't necessarily have to be Honda
