what do you think of this paint scheme?

So I think I've decided on a silver black two tone for my Blazer, its time to order paint so I thought I would get some opinions. If I two tone I would like to add the side trim but will probably leave it off if I decide on solid black. Interior is gray if that helps

The last picture is a photoshop of my new wheels I will be running as soon as I decide on a tire size.

I like it without the trim. It looks very clean, and different in a good way.

I like the color scheme, but not a fan of the black grillage.

Re: what do you think of this paint scheme?

First picture by far.... the trim doesn't sit good with that two tone..... and the rims in the first one are unique they look good with the paint.... i would run the second set of rims if everyone and there brothers didn't run them.... i vote first one

Re: what do you think of this paint scheme?

The no-trim look OK, but it needs something to divide it. Even just a real small red or yellow pinstripe would work.

Re: what do you think of this paint scheme?

I like the 2nd... clean and classy with the chrome trim; and will NEVER go out of style. 1st pic will go out of style... JMO. When you go to sell it... the 2nd pic will bring more money... I would pay more anyways.

Re: what do you think of this paint scheme?

It depends on the look you are after. If you want a custom look then the fist one gets the vote. If you prefer a resto style then #2 is it. I agree that the resale will be stronger with the resto look.

Re: what do you think of this paint scheme?

To me, the side panel two tone blazers looks like a truck with a camper... I do like the split top/bottom two tones with a third stipe color to seperate the two... like Hill's Hotrod's green/rootbeer blazer

I like the second pic. The chrome trim breaks up the hard line for a timeless classic look.

Re: what do you think of this paint scheme?

Must have chrome, should have chrome headlight bezel/buckets. Two tone looks great.
