Two-tone!!! Where'd that come from? No-one said two-tone. I always thought two-tone paint make cars look smaller.

Asked for an opinion...

Good luck with your choice for your car..

LoL don't know if its going to be your typical 2 tone but its going to be mainly black with some burgundy in it.
but who knows that might change when it comes time to paint.

Black is a pain to keep it clean but it worth all the effort when it's clean and shinny. Add that to a light color interior and you just add more work cleanning but trust me the combo just stick out.

I had the same problem on what color to paint my vet. I just got done painting mine black with doeskin interior and it looks great im at the color sand buff stage now. Cant wait to see it finished but still have alot of work ahead of me. I have 3 black vehicles now and yes they are hard to keep clean but Im used to it and it is worth it.


Good luck
