Use a candy blue(maybe red or orange) top half and a silver bottom half and seperate the two with a thin yellow pin stripe. Maybe blue bottom and silver top(keep yellow pin stripe).

If you twotone it like that, put the darker color on top, it gives the car a lower look.

I am a fan of the classic Black and Silver two tone jobs.

Even tho its a diecast, It is a good example

There was a 92 Z-28 in Camaro Performers a couple of issues back that had that paint scheme. That's what got me interested in doing it. I think I'm just gonna go with heritage stripes and paint my louvers to match.
