I am starting to plan out my next project and wanted to do a different syle of two-tone paint, but the only examples I can locate are the standard dark on the bottom and light on the top. I was going to go white on the bottom, but would like to see "examples" of cars with a white or light color on the bottom and something else on top, brfore I head off that direction. Has anyone out there have any examples they can post of an "upside down two-tone" that looks sharp?
careful, the lighter color can make the lower portion of the vehicle look "taller" or as if there is a space underneath. there was an editorial post in some rod magazine where the guy painted the top a dark color and light down low. it was a chopped and lowered Merc. He said the paint job visually negated all the bodywork.
This is the sort of post I was after. My only concern is how it may affect the temperature inside the car. I had always been told old cars were two-toned so the lighter roof color help keep the car cool. But I really like Chopolds' ride.
Its a 60 Rambler that I am restro-moding and was thinbking about a white base and a few shades darker for the top. Interior will be basic black and white.
A much better example... You guys get the idea! What do you think? Maybe with some red striping or highlights on the inside.
Photoshop of my '46 Olds, OEM colours, beige - lower and metallic gold - upper. Forgot the FUGLY wheels.
I don't think that dark on the bottom was standard, I pretty much see it split pretty evenly. Stock colors, stock locations, just took it up a notch...
