Default Custom paintjob opinions

Hey everyone. I've got a BSP Spec and I want it to be...I dunno, different. The cars that catch peoples eyes are the ones with paint that nobody else has. I've always been a personal fan of 2-tone, especially on the tC. Does anyone have any suggestions? I was thinking maybe black and orange but I don't know how it would look. I love panda but want something a little more unique. I don't think there are any custom painted tC's in my area. Does anyone think that I could leave part of the BSP and paint the other half another color or would it look weird? Please suggest some colors and post examples of custom work.

post a pic of your car and leave it for the photoshoppers aka scionjon to take care of.

one option is black and green with black rims w/ a green lip...that would look sooo hot.

I personally plan on doing the ghost SCION on my own car in the future........went to a local shop and to do it is about $3000......not bad considering the hours involved......and the guy who did this to the car is the same who will do it to mine........it includes complete re clear of the entire car.....which is nice to have a fresh clear coat.

seems like blue / orange / copper are used wayyyy to often.

Maybe like a nice remini red metallic? I had that color on my land rover and the way the factory put that paint on was marvelous. I had that thing for 6 years and its been through rivers / off-road and paint still looks awesome - although I hit a rock last time I tried to ford a river and cracked off a piece of my bumper lol.
