Help with graphics/two tone etc etc

[GLANT]

as you can see my paint needs touching up...its way to hard to color match it...sooo going to two tone it...

wondering if anyone can help out with a better effort or some ideas than i have ...lol ^^^^

[72GalantGirl]

Aww GLANT I love the pink you have now!!
Not the biggest fan on the two tone though but you never know until you paint it if you like it or not. I love the Ford Aqua and thats my plans for the GA but I think that it would look great in any bright colours. But on a serious note if you decide to change yours from pink I am so painting mine that colour!! I love it

[72GalantGirl]

had a thought before logging out... What about a silver on the bottom?? Just read that you want to two tone it to fix some problems dark silver like the gun metal almost?

I think going a brite silver on the lower half would look good

[GLANT]

hmmm silver???...that could look good!

[paully77galant]

because the pink paint you already have is so bright the other colour should be a neutral colour (white, grey, silver, black, etc). peronally i'd go white maybe with a pink or white pearl.
- i've been doing custom paint for 9 years now and have two toned plenty of cars
* Also think about the option of using a matte clear on one half for a bit more of a contrast.

Are you local
so? matt clear works with pearls/flake etc? i was thinking black with purple and red pearl...or metal flake?

GLANT, here's a black two tone photochop going between the 2 side panel creases. Then a couple of silver versions..



Might give you some ideas?

This is the winner in my book

Full white bottom! Very nice

i reckon the whole side (top half or gaurds,under window seals and under the rear window mould) in the black/over pink with the thin black line on top but also to follow the grooves of the rear quarters and back doors??
kinda like this...

but higher up??

[paully77galant]

yep matte clear still shows off pearls and meatllic, ya just have to use a bit more pearl thats all. the pic you done of the silver that goes all the way to the bottom looks good.As for doin metal flake it is a big job and requires a lot of product as it doesnt look any good unless you acheive full coverage with the flake. I have painted my galant in full metal flake and two toned it, and believe me it was a HUGE job and the material alone cost me $1500. I live in murrumbeena vic if ya wanna catchup and see how my flake job came out.

oh my lord, I think I just creamed my pants...that gd is nice

[ISKA8]

see that galant is perfect thats what i meant by having the colour higher up and the rear quarter bend..your car will look awsome like that in black

since its pink on top, for a great contrast I would go with a dark green.

[GLANT]

hmmm.. two tone will have to go right down including the sills...paint is damaged below lower body line @ front...so this is more like it

[ISKA8]

yeah i think your right in saying to cover the sills but i still reckon higher up and black not green ??
bro you already have a green car and she is a beauty..

[ddt]

here's with a higher sill line -black and silver. Personally I prefer the silver in any

matching the pink may not a big issue if it is separated from the rest of the body by the silver/black stripe -you'd probably get away with it. You could give it a shot first and if it's way off then go ahead and fill all the way down with the stripe? I reckon it looks better with the pink running along the bottom..

+1

[GLANT]

Silver is probably the winner....as painters dont like black as much
Ta DDT...you a champion!! and thanks to others for input!!

gday mate, colour looks good, especially with the 2tone. have you considered doing the vinyl wrap? my mate starting doing his civic panel by panel and it looked good an easy. i liked the idea of if you got bored with it, you could just peel it off and and you still got your base colour and if your car was to get scratched its like an extra layer of protection between the metal (and its easy to replace if its scratched)

just an idea anyways, but whatever you do it would look good.

[GLANT]

Thanks for the ideas suggestions everyone This is similar to how itll be done....following the upper body line...ill include the little panel kick up, near back door going on to rear quarter panel (under pillar badge)... to enhance galants "wedge" body style
