Getting Two Tone Paint and Need Some Help

Im going to be getting a two tone paint job pretty soon and want peoples opinions on what color to go with. I have a 2005 Arrival Blue Cobalt LS. I really like the way the27thelements car looks but dont want to copy his idea. another thing is that i have the SS/SC spoiler and dont know how i would go about doing that. any advice would be great. also maybe a photoshop. i have pics in my gallery. Thanks

I just got off the phone with the body shop and the guy told me about $450. but my dad knows the manager and does a lot of business with him so i will get a better price than that after i talk to the manager.

A little painters trick, have them spray a light bulb with the color you want before they put it on your car, This way you can see how it looks on a curved surface and at different light angles.

Oh and if you want Black but something not Like 27th I suggest using House of Kolors Hot rod Suede

I like the Gunmetal idea that someone posted above. And I would paint the spoiler the same color as the top half off the car.
