Re: Two tone paint job

my first impulse is to say that I can't imagine it would look as good in the end as one solid color. but then, I saw this pic, and thought that it would also depend on the rest of the car.

with the other deviations from stock (larger, wider wheel/tire package, hood) I think that this car looks pretty cool. with Maui Blue or better yet, a more "electric" looking blue, I think it would look better still. the same paint job on an otherwise stock appearing car, I doubt would look as good.


the silver over blue? personally, I'm not feelin' it.

Steep learning curve but is pretty decent. For windows, click on "Show other downloads" and scroll down to GIMP for Windows.
