Default Two tone C5's

Hello gang!

Unfortunetly, my personal C5 was involved in a little fender bender, nothing serious and nothing that cannot be fixed thank god.

I know people have asked this before, and i tried to search to no avail, but since it needs some repair i am seriously thinking of two toning the car, so if anyone has any pics of two tone c5 or c6's please, help a brother out and post them up!

Really haven't seen many 2-tone C5s. Have seen a few with the cove area painted to make it look like a C1 car.

Email Cip Foose You might get lucky, two tone is his trademark.

Dont remember ever seeing him do a vette on his show.

Here’s my 99 silver Vert with a dark grey hardtop.

I am debating to paint the top black, not sure yet.

I've seen a few black halos, (which looked really good on red) but no two tone.

I think this one is real nice. Don't know who it belongs too, but it's been posted here a couple of times in the past.

Looks to be a bluish/gray?

Agreed - that two tone vette looks unreal.

There was a thread sa few weeks ago on painting the tops black....someone mentioned wraping the top in black plastic..the advantage would be that its reversable

I've seen some people paint the middle of the hood (or scoop in case of aftermarket hood), halo and mid-hatch a different color (black).

On the hatch they followed the body lines so that the inside was the second tone and the outside was original color. Sometimes this is integrated with a spoiler.
