Idea For piant job

Hi I would like to paint my 84 Camaro a 2 tone with whit on top and black on the bottom right were the body seam is in the middle and the black would go over the fender wells but I would like something to be between the two colors so its not just a white to black line. What could I put over them were the colors meet? And also does any one have a photo shop were they could show me what the car would look like. Thanks in advance.

I saw something similiar to that on a camaro but it was black on the bottom and red on the top. i dont think there was anything to seperate the two colors though. looked really good i was thinking about doing something like that when i get ready to paint my car.

I have seen a few Camaros like that and many other cars... it looks pretty nice when done right. I dont know about anything between the two colors but maybe a sort of stripe if you really want to but I think it would look best without anything between them.

you could probably do black half way up, then have like 3/8" white, then a black pinstripe, then the rest white.

I think I like it...especially after I did the photoshop, before I wasn't sure how it would be.

Now that I see it I will definitly be painting my car like that. Thanks for that photoshop pic. I like that red stripe that you used to split the colors that looks clean.

I think if done right it could look good. That's how some of the 4th gen cop cars were painted and they look awesome.
