tires and wheels Two Tone or not Two Tone...(a picture request)

[rustdogbrown]

I have a '68 2002 that will be getting a paint job soon and would like some opinions on two tone paint jobs. I will be lowering the car with H&R springs and running 14" steel wheels. Also, I was thinking of removing my belt line trim and plugging all the holes(opinions?).

Suggestions on a reputable body shop near Seattle are also welcome.

What was the original color?

What colors are you planning on, I've never had anybody say my two tone was bad looking, but you can't hardly tell it's two tone.

What colors are you planning? I am going to run a maroon (honda dark cherry pearl) on the bottom and a flat black on the top. I pulled the trim and filled the holes and think it looks a lot cleaner but it is still stripped down right now so I am not sure what it will look like. So pretty much I am no help...

The original color is Polaris Silver. All of the previous repaints have been Polaris Silver.

Thanks for the pics. Keep them coming. It looks the majority of the two-tone schemes have a secondary color that cover the hood, decklid and the body in between that sits above the belt line. But the secondary paint does not extend up the C-pillar and onto the roof. I like that.

I remember meeting a guy at the fest west that was finding and repainting 2002's in Arizona. As I recall, he would paint the A-Pillar, C-Pillar and roof one color(typically white) and the rest was an orig color. Anyone have a picture like this?

Thanks again...this will help convince the wife that a two-tone paint job can look good.
