help with two toning

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Fri Oct 27, 2006 10:27 pm

something looks amiss on the front end there... i don't know what it is though.

I think the problem is the Neon doesn't have a real good body line that follows the car all the way to do a good two tone so it's really hard to pull it off

there's gotta be some way of doing it right... i would rather not repaint the bottom half of the car and just do silver again...

jason, that IS the body line, lol

the line on the doors lines up eith the end of the fender, which lines up with the edge of the hoor/bumper, going back around, which lines up with the line between reverse light and tail light, which lines up with the line on the trunk...thats the body line

I messed with the pic a lil while. The only 2 I even came remotely close to liking were these:

The fact that you want to keep the front/rear bumpers silver is the hard part. Difficult to pull it all together if you only have the middle to work with

the bumpers will cost me another 4-500 to paint, so that's why i was hoping to keep them the Silver color, haha. But, if there's no way of doing it and keeping it looking good, I'll paint them without issue.

I kind of like those ideas, Jess, but they seem a bit too centered on the rear...

Thanks again!

This might work, I used the Chrome Rims off of a PT
I tried to colour the whole hood, but it just looked dumb

hope this is kinda what you were thinking about

that's pretty much what i was looking for except i would have made the stripe a little higher so it connected with the bottom half, but i really like the way that looks!

thanks man!

Yep, same here.

I'll keep my comments to myself.

TheRandom1 · Post by **TheRandom1** » Sun Nov 19, 2006 11:19 am

no, please share them. even though i plan on doing the car for myself, i still like to hear others opinions of it.

Two tone is insanely hard to pull off AND look good at the same time....

This just looks like crap.. seriously.. if I saw this car driving.. I'd laugh.... It's just goofy looking..

I don't like too many two tone cars.. it's gotta flow pretty good.. and that doesn't flow at all.

Dan/Crucial's car flows pretty darn good.... I wasn't a fan of it at first... but it looks great I think...

I think you should ditch the whole two tone idea.

That's just my opinion though.
