Default Looking for some opinions (paint job)

now i have no l33t paintshop skills or anything, so im not going to post a picture. thus, youll need to work from memory.

ive noticed with my shadow mica, it kinda has a green tint to it in certain light. anyways i was thinking of doing two tone paint with camo green as the second color.

anyone think this would look good? or would it have no flow to it?

opinions!

i think it would look sweet. almost any of the scion standard colors would look good combo'd.

sounds like a good idea to me. just remember how much a two-tone will end up costing you...

price really isnt an issue, since ill have over a year to save up (going to do it, if i do, next summer).

right now, my years projects are sound deadening, system, suspension, engine. in roughly that order.

afterwards, its all exterior. rawr

Be like Nike and "Just Do It"

I have a question. If they are doing two tone and only painting half the car, wouldn't that be half the price?!? Just asking......

to be honest...its easier to re-spray a whole car than to two tone...WAY less masking.

but in all fairness...if you want to re-spray a whole car the RIGHT way your going to pay 4-5grand to do it. that inclused pulling the engine all the interior..everythign.
