    two toning or striping

     



    I have a 68 camaro that i painted a copper color similar to the chevrolet sun set orange metalice. I love the color but think it needs something to stand out from all the other camaro's out there. I was thinking of two toning the bottom half in a silver pewter color or using the same color and puting stripes on it. I jsut not sure which way to go. So if anyone has a suggestion let me know

    I would use a neutral color for sure. Those are colors that seem to go with anything, and include whites, grays, silvers, and blacks. Some will often treat ivory, beige, tan, or light metallic gold as a neutral.

    Be careful with metallics. There isn't enough light to make them work very well, on the lower sides of cars. In the past I've done artwork in pearl or metallic, and found out that on the lower sides, you usually can't see the metallics at all!

    If you could get me a good side or 3/4 picture of the camaro i would be willing to photoshop you a few examples when i get a chance. Just give me a few ideas that you've had.
