Default paint scheme?

ok so, my car is going to be painted soon and i think im going to do a two-tone (silver on top, black on bottom, with a red pinstripe separating the two colors) and theres a guy that goes to my school with a two tone paint job that i like, but i dont want to do it the same as his, do you guys have any suggestions on what i could do, or have you seen any paint jobs that are different, but simple (and possibly have pics)?

heres a few pics of my car







and heres a pic of the other guys car

if i were going to paint my stang it would be a calypso green with black boss stripes but instead of it sayign boss i would have it say 302 or 5.0. but colypso green goes with any color black...chrome..silver..plus u dont see to many of them..but calypso green with black cant go wrong. but nice car once its painted it will look so good no matter what color. im honesley not a fan of racing or pin stripes or two tone paint jobs...but its really going to come down to what u like. so good luck.

im going to stick with the black and silver, i was just wondering if anyone knows of a paint scheme thats not just one plain color, i want it to be different, but at the same time i want it to be simple and not look like im trying to show off with some rediculous paint scheme

HELLL NO on the red and silver... never ever ever ever put them together... there like swarn enemies. Black and silver are good tho... it seems u are talking about a top hat paint job... get a lite silver tho... not a dark one... u want a defined contrast with a paint job like that... nice jet black on teh bottom a lite silver... u dont need a line in between with these two colors... use the same body line on the side as he did... paint the center part of the hood black too with a silver stripe down the middle.... 8 inches wide

IMO it will look better with silver on bottom and black on top.

i agree with the silver bottom if your gonna do a 2 tone paint job although im not a big fan of the 2 tone. The car would look really sharp black how it is with mayb silver stripes? Nice car though.

i agree 100 percent . and i think a blue seperating the colors would look ok.but i would just use the 2 colors.hope you like the end result.
