Two Tone FTO - MS Paint

SILVERFISH · Post by **SILVERFISH** » Mon Apr 14, 2008 2:25 pm

i've been toying with the idea of doing a 2 tone paint finish
so i decided to use my MS Paint skills for good rather than evil

here are the results... let me know what you think -

Im not normally a two tone person, however in recent years it has grown on me. Picking the right colours are the most important thing. I really like the blue and silver combo

and i like the green and gun metal one you have done, but i may be biased.

You could also look at instead of doin a straight line, do it so it has a little wave type thing in the centre, hard to explain but the old skool hot rods used to have it and i reakon would look awesome on a fto

Well thats my 2 cents

im also thinking of going 2 tone,but cant decide the best colour to go with yellow,but im thinking of having the bottom colour coming from the veilside front wing to the top corner of the boot,so only the front fin part is the lower colour,should look wicked.

yellow on black vs. black on yellow

im sort of thinking yellow top fading into silver bottom layer,dont know how the transition will work though,i would imagine it would be quite difficult.

this is the best examples i can find at the moment of what i mean ,with the fade quite rapid so the majority of the car is yellow.
silver layer at the bottom into quick fade then yellow.

yeah im sh*t at that sort of thing i dont even know how you have done the two different colours lol.

Yeah a little pointy lol. . But i do think two tone could definitly work.

Ok just had a thought, what about bringing the paint line up to where the rear pillars of the roof meet the body like this

there was an FTO painted the same style as the tokyo drift RX7...
pics were posted up in the general section about a year or so ago,
it looked like poo,
just doesn't suit the FTO body shape...

this might work though....

FTO shape is so good it doesn't need any two tone to make it different imo

You could do the 2 tone style like in tokyo drift lol (rx8)

i like the colours that it is in but i don't think it would suit an FTO having 2 tone paint in that style.

i think it would look best on an FTO having 2 colours slowly fading into each other.

hey mate -

still taking your car to revzone?

personally - not a fan of two tone... think the car looks a lot cleaner and smarter just the one shade (just my opinion
