Rules for two-tone paint? BOXY!

[JJSmitches]

This is not a PT vehicle..

My wife drives a silver 2006 Scion XB that needs a dent removed from the rear and a new front bumper. I would like to keep the top half silver.

I was curious if there are some general rules that painters "usually" apply to two-tone paint schemes?

In the end I will go with what we like best, but suggestions as to what might look good are always helpful.

I was thinking black similar to this, however, I also so another car with a very nice blue/silver combo.

I like the black. Black and silver always look good together. People will think you're a Raiders fan though. (not that there's anything wrong with that)

How about another shade of silver/gray? If it's a daily driver, I'd be sure it's something that you are comfortable walking up to every day.

I saw a new Dodge Magnum two tone the other day with some chrome 20's...and I'll give this personal observation...what looks good on the internet, and in DUB magazine...doesn't always look good in real life...or next year when the trends change again.

I always forget about the Raiders. I think I will pass on the black. I might look for a blue or darker grey as suggested.

Any pictures of a silver over white paint job?
