Pic Request: Top Black, Bottom...
Hey guys...considering tinting the windows and painting the upper portion of my silver 84 black...
I have been trying multiple searches in an attempt to find a pic of what this might look like, but have been unsuccessful to date.
Any help? Pics? Links?
Thanks in advance!

90 z51...thanks for the offer!
84vette..actually that is VERY close to what I was thinking! I like it. I was also considering painting the side mirrors as well...
90z51...think you could photoshop the mirrors on the anniversay edition that 84vette posted?
Thanks again guys!

I have a better idea for you. Go buy some gloss black contact paper, the kind you line your kitchen cabinet shelves with. Cut it out and apply it to your B-pillar. Once done, step back and ask yourself if you like it on your car.
That stuff goes on and comes off easily. It won't damage your paint, and you will get to see the effect in person on your car.

Here's a real quick photoshop of it as a two tone. The black looks kind of funny because there are no highlights on the white car (in the picture the upper part of the car doesn't really have any reflections and it looks like a white "blob") so the black, similarly, looks like a solid black blob. I had to play with the contrast to give it some shape, but it still looks too fake. The tint on the window was another problem, since the window was down it's hard to tint a window that isn't there. Again, there were no highlights on the glass to make it look natural, so I applied a 60% opaque black part over the window. I can make it a bit darker if you want, but it's going to still look silly.
