Here's my two-tone. I'm not sure if I'll keep it these colors when I repaint it, but I'm pretty sure it'll stay two-tone.

factory or near factory two tone schemes look sweet(car one color, lower gfx area another).

I'm not digging the white up half the door and a black roof scheme though, but whatever goes for your own car, thats cool

I want to repaint mine someday back to the stock 87 Mettalic Dark Marroon color w/ the dark grey two-tone lower area and stripes.

Well if it were me Id just take the mirrors back off and sand them down and throw at least a quick black coat of paint on them just to make them match the car more so, I mean some cars even came with black mirrors and that would hold off on having to match the white you have on the car now and wouldnt stand out to much.
