Two tone. In or out?

[CARLMB]

Are 2 tone paint jobs still in? It seemed to be popular a few years ago and now the trend seems to have shifted back to solid colors. I have some body issues I need to address on top of the quarters and was considering painting the top side silver with a thin burnt orange dividing stripe or burnt orange with a thin silver stripe. Any thoughts?

My personal opinion, two tone can date a car pretty quickly. Your car is beautiful as is and will be timeless. I can understand the temptation to do something different with it while it is at the body shop, but I think it looks awesome as it sits. Is there a build thread on this car?

My car is 2 tone. While i know it can date a car if done with the right wheels, color, and theme it can keep it from looking dated. I plan on driving my car and getting chips/ dings / ect in it. It will need to be repainted in 10 or 15 years and then I can change back to solid color or keep 2 tone.

Beautiful car! Will look good either way, but I like the solid colors personally.

two tone's do date cars depending on the car. Tri year's always look great two tone IMO

Great looking car as it sits...my vote stay with the solid color.

Personally, I'm kinda burned out with two tones.

sweet ride, looks great the way it is

[Fras]

I vote to keep it the way it is. Why mess with perfection!? I dig the side mirrors too.

You you like 2 tone or not? It's shouldn't be a matter of in or not in. I've never liked it. Screws with the cars lines.

Beautiful car. Looks great all black. You can always compromise by choosing dark silver for a subtle contrast.

[MrQuick]

solid looks good, if you must maybe a flat black upper section starting at the fender edge line.

[LowFast]

Leave it back and do a vinyl wrap for the second color, that way in a few years if it looks dated you just pull it off.

Thanks for the input and compliments. I remember reading about some software that you can try different paint schemes. Does anyone know who produced this? Thanks again.

Digital Paint Booth from House of colors is inexpensive for one car. It is very easy to learn, but you only get the one 3/4 angle and the background it comes with.

Out...

IMHO.. few splashes of flat black in a few key places on that car would be Money..

You guys are killin' me.
It's up to you but I think it is the trendy colors that kill the two tone paint jobs. The burnt orange may not be the color of choice. I'm sure the flat black will go out of style eventually as well.

I was tempted to paint mine blue and silver but opted for the yellow. I'm not sure if it will stay in style for everyone but it will for me. The blue and silver didn't last too long.

I have a 67 Camaro, and wanted it to be a little different, that is why I chose Burgandy on bottom, and Grey on top. I know it is timeless, but I didnt want stripes like 90% of the cars out there.

Good taste is timeless. Chances are that if a particular look becomes outdated then it wasn't tasteful to begin with. In our out, 2 tone was... not terribly tasteful.
