What colors?

What two colors go great together for a two tone paint job? I want mainly bright colors nothing to dark and something that will catch your eye.

Re: What colors?

How about teal and salmon? Definitely eye catching. I like the grapefruit/white two tone.

Re: What colors?

What about Teal bottom and Silver from the character line on up? I guess the question is what look are you going for, i.e. lowered hot rod, lifted 4x4, etc.
