2 Tone Paint Job

How much should a 2-Tone paint job run me? Wanting to paint the top half of the car black (from body line up black and keep below that line tungsten grey with hood, top half of car and stop at back of windshield above the trunk)

Anyway I think for a show finish and considering the car just needs to be sanded and painted (little less prep than bare metal and fiberglass) I would guess about $3000+ remember everything has to be cleared and blended with the body lines too. Black is not an easy color to work with but your car would look amazing in 2-tone!!!!!! Ask 06eleanor as his is 2-tone....... JMO J

I have a steeda street wing on the back and didn't know how it would look if I continued the black onto the trunk and onto the wing? This is defidently going to be in the future of my car lol I saw a car at Mustang Week this year that had a 2-tone in the same theme I'm wanting (but it was windveil blue

) and showed it to dad and he said, "That's a must." Lol I have one more question....I'm thinking about not tenting the windows too dark...but still want a little bit of tint to where people can see in the car...what % should that be?

I think 35% tint would work nicely for what you are looking for and paint the trunk lid and the Steeda street wing regardless of color will go perfectly with the rest of the car....JMO but 20% might be too dark for what you are looking for.....I on the other hand have 5% limo tint all around!
