Two tone paint pics

Working on color or colors for paint job in distance future at rate body work is moving along. Thinking two tone. Know base color is lighter to mid blue metalic. Thinking darker silver/gray as secondary color.Maybe drip rail to mid body following panel lines and including top of hood.Very thin black outline stripe and if real lpinstripe I am General contractor by trade and will be subbinbg that part out,LOL

Suggestion on color combo and pics of actual two tone paint job on panels would be awesome. Knowing smaller group figure good lead time may work in my favor.

9Not a a panel but close. I included a shot of the Burban as it looked when I purchased it.

My rule of thumb for two tone paint is the darker color on the bottom looks better.

Re: Two tone paint pics

The aqua and white kind iof idea thinking on. I was thinkiong roof same as base wiuth the little raised panel that curves down and towards fron just above middle and hood about the same. Might could go darker on the blue than thinking to go with darker silver grayish middle. Like said just thinking.

May do a drawing and not Joe Martin iof Foose here so will have to fiund one to trace.Make copys and go back to kindergarden and color away.LOL
