Default two tone paint job

I was thinking of getting a two tone paint job. My current color is Blue I wanted to do a blue bottom with a black or grey roof hood and trunk. Whats your opinion?

Chip Foose is known for his two-tone paint design, it looks really good if you follow his steps:

Paint the hood, top, and trunk black
Paint the bottom blue
Put a painted pinstripe between the two colors (like silver)
and make sure the two-tone follows the body line.. (like dont have the line down the middle of your door)

Here is what I am talking about...

Thats what I am looking to do, like the pic, I hate the painted pin stripe between the two colors, they had a few at the dealership the I didnt get it was because of the colors they had. My car is sonic blue.

It needs a pinstripe to pull it off. Without the pinstripe it will look unfinished imo. You can put any color, even like a dark grey so it isn't all noticable, but without it, won't look right.

There is a guy on the other forum, maybe he is here too, that has like the chip foose two tone with grey on top and black on bottom. Can't link the pic because of the filter, but his handle is popeye010.

DO IT UP. Sonic Blue with black is a sick combo, I'd be real interested in seeing how it'll turn out. Definatly go with a pinstripe, small one but silver or dark grey.
