Could anyone possibly photoshop what this car would look like black from the pinstripe up? I work next door to a body shop and it wouldnt be to hard for me to get this done. I just need to tone down the champagne color some. And if anyone PS this picture and gets bored maybe throw some speedstars on it?

I can change the tones and such, but I think its good enough to get you an idea.

Mike, in the first pic of your car, it reminds me of the old school Keds shoes lol. They had the two little stripes on the bottom.

As for the champagne color being toned down, maybe it's just me but it looks like the entire neighborhood is all the same color lol. Everything matches. Clean looking place though.

My 2 cents, just paint the the whole car black. I don't think you would be happy with champagne and black two toned.

I'm suprised, I really think it looks pretty good. The car also has all black interior now with the exception of the door panels. Thanks for doing the photochop too!

Ok so here's my opinion... I took the picture & darkened the black part even more, it kind'a looked like a dark brown to me & I also painted your front trim. I think it makes a world of a difference. So this is the result:

I talked to a couple of my close friends and asked them what they thought, they seem to agree that a really dark gray would look best... but I donno. Thats sayin a lot if Jaime says he likes it.

i think champagne and a very dark gun metal gray would look sick or a metallic charcoal black like i sprayed on this katana. i repainted this whole bike. it was viper blue and dupont metallic charcoal black.

Ya, they were saying like a charcoal black... I gotta go to the body shop maybe tomorrow and ask to look at paint colors.

The colors you use are crucial, but just as important is how you do your lines. I had a hard time figuring out a way to let the lines flow through the rear of my car. That's why I ended up wrapping it on and around. Don't get me wrong, I'm not saying my way was the right way or the only way, I think the straight line can be done. I've just seen some 2 tone paint jobs that I personally didn't care for.

I had and probably still do have, people that don't care for my paint job or just the 2 tone approach. All I'm trying to say is that I think where you put the lines will make or break the paint job, no matter what colors you choose. bottom line, It's all a matter of personal taste and if you like it DO IT!!!
