2 tone paint help

[muskrat]

I've got a '92 240SX SE coupe, the paint isn't too bad, but bad enough for me to want to paint it ghetto style (rattle can). I was telling my dad about teh car and telling him I would probably just go flat black with it, and he said something about paintign the top white to keep it cooler. I laughed at the idea, then it started to sink in. So I did some mock ups of black and white paint jobs on the car, but with the smooth front end on the car, it looses it's lines in the nose and makes a 2 tone kinda iffy. Anyway, check out the image and tell me which fits the car best, or if you think something else would look better (same concept only) then either tell me about it or download the Photoshop format and edit it to your favor.

For two tone, zenki coupes are the best, the chuki front looks odd in two tone, and you partially know that already.

I say just go all black, or stick with white

I decided out of curiousity to swap the colors around and now after seeing it and liking it so much, I wish I hadn't.

Then after I lower it a little and paint the wheels.

= PIMP!

I'd either go with that or all flat black.

try leaving the hood and headlight covers white.

Let's make a fastback into the initial D coupe! (colors at least)

im a sucker for the classic two-tone style. it does look a little weird with white and black, but who knows.

Personally i think that the black roof and hood scheme look great on the fastbacks. I have never seen it done on the coupe before. Im not sure you can get the same effect on the coupe as with the hatch.

If you want to get really crazy with the two-tone, try the "panda" scheme that AE86's came stock with. Might look fugly on a 240 though, someone photoshop something like this, I have no time, doing homework.
