Default Pics of two-tone paint jobs please

I am looking for a specific two tone paint job I have seen here before a while back.
I tried the search,but no worky
It was black on the top,and I am not 100% sure,but think it was silver on the sides

Does anyone have this pic saved somewhere? If you know what I am talking about...

Thanks

Could this be it?

Front vents painted black, the roof and halo behind it painted black, and the butt painted black. Also black window tinting.







This is TrainMom and me before I added the Tiger shark front fascia. note the front vents are painted black.

This car appears to be one, very glossy, color with shadows making it look 2 toned.

I've had this one saved for a while. I'm considering a 2 toned paint scheme. I know I want the top part to be black, but I'm not sure of the bottom color or the layout/cut pattern.

Sonny's car is awesome!! Saw the car at the CI-VI. With Sonny's vette if you were driving from behind you would never know that front is black.

This doesn't look 2 tone to me either,I think it's just the lighting. If it IS 2-tone, do you have a better pic of it?

Yes he does,but again not the one I am thinking of

Well, now we have seen every one I have seen beforeexcept the one I am looking for . The line was very similar to the above line,just slightly different.Plus the top/hood/ deck was black( I think )Dang,I wish I would have saved it!!!!
I really liked the point they used to break the line.

If I remember correctly,The line was just above,or equal to the front fender,which made it higher on the body down the side.The front had the stock facia,so it's hard to compare that line

I do too!
The one I am looking for though,has the cutoff line of the black that continues across the front bumper ,near the headlights,so that the rear color is now on the lower front bumper,similar to Eatrice's above

I have this one saved as well. Someone also photshopped it and made it two tone red on top and black on the bottom.

I also have a diff. pic of a c5 thats orange on the bottom and black on top. the only problem is they are on my desktop comp. and its all screwed up.

i was considering two tone when i had my c5 painted but decided against it. went with the black cherry instead.

good like finding the pic you are looking for, im lookin forward to seeing it now.
