Help me decide: 2 tone paint job

Well I have a silver 08 EVOX and I am going to be painting it this week and want to do a 2 tone black and silver, I am having a really hard time to figure out what lines I should go off of! I wish I had a program that I could use to show me what it would look like!

I would like your guys/gals ideas on this one! If I use your idea I will get you a vynal poster of my X!

Thank you-
HIghline Automotive

Photoshop....


Alot of car games come with teh ability to paint your own car... I would think Forza 3 would be a good option for trying.

2 tone only looks good on cars that can be completly seperated. like an audi tt or a mini cooper. When the line ends on the door but not the hood, or goes all the way down the hood it looks cheesy. Why dont you paint it a solid unique color or just paint the roof black? Oh andi hope your a raiders fan if you do that and i hope you watch the chargers kick there azz AGAIN if you are. lol

Nope no raiders fan!! I am looking to just do something a lil different without having to repaint all the door jams and whatnot! We just did a 98 Eclipse Spyder last week from maroon to Subaru blue, looks great but PITA to do all the extra work!! I do allot of auto-xing so no lowrider here just want something different to stick out from the crowd!

Thank you everyone for your input, - or + it all helps out!!

Ill tell you what, do the roof black, the mirrors and th door handles. It will look awesome and unique. A silver car looks the best like that.

How about you paint the car a color that you really love, then experiment with different options and designs using vinyl?
