help with two toning

Hey guys, was hoping y'all could help out a bit. I'm debating on a silver with green color scheme or a silver and blue... i need to repaint the doors anyways, so the bottom part of the car would be getting new color. plus the bumpers will cost me another few hundred to redo, so if there's any way of keeping the bumpers silver and making it look cool, that'd be great!

Thanks in advance guys!

and now the pics.

you talking like under the side molding to be changed colors?

more or less from the body line down... i forgot to mention that i'd removed the moulding, haha

do you have any different pics? maybe a different angle or something with more reflections in it? that one big sun spot will give me hell to get the color right.

Those color combos.

i have a silver car with green and blue lights... i can't decide which i like more, haha.

ideas on other colors (other than cf or flat black) are welcome too if you'd rather?

Looks horrid... don't do it.

Maybe someone else will want to spend more time, but I knew right off it wouldn't go well.. and hopefully this shows for you.

Black or white... Those are pretty much your only options.

what about silver/black with silver/chrome wheels? (silver wheels with chrome lip)

with a blue or green pinstripe to separate the two colors maybe?

I've heard this idea before...

No blue, no green pinstripe... White pinstripe, if anything.

not even a Suzuki blue pinstripe? damn... how would that silver/black silver/chrome look?

OK. Can anyone shop in a good silver/black two tone that doesn't change the bumper color, but changes the bottom half of the doors?

I can take different pics if that will help any...

Wait, what? You want the bottom half of the doors changed but not the bumpers

That might not look right either since then it'll look like you didn't get the bumpers painted to match

And really, the other colors like green and blue... there's a car running around town here that I see nearly everyday that has green bumpers on it... I'll just leave this smiley to do the talkin for me...

what i'm saying Jason, is instead of leaving it black on the bottom, do the bottom black on the doors, but then run the color up onto the hood, so it looks like two colored ribbons twisted at the end...
