Two Tone?

so my friend, does vinyls on cars and wants to put a 2-tone job on my car. it is warrantied stuff and lasts for 7 years. i dont know if i can disclose the price, but it is cheap, very cheap. so i had a pic of my car photoshopped and i think it looks good. thanks to bumblebee for the photoshop job. i also need a pin stripe line to break it up a bit so i asked for a black and a white line to do done on it.

this is the same stuff i would be likely doing it in

it would have that finish with this color:



this one is my favourite one:



so what your opinion on it?

The Bottom one is deff the best of the 4. but i dont think i would do it, It needs to be a Darker Gray, darker than the red on the bottom, with a white stripe

I don't know that I'd do vinyl, but I do like the color combination.

I know it's cheap, but I've never seen a car wrapped in vinyl that looked really good.

Don't be the guy that everyone points at, know what I mean?

Just remember it may be removable but unless you avoid the sun 24/7 it will still be 2 tone after a year+ once removed!

the guy who does the vyniling for us is a highly talented guy with good materials. he did a wrap of his car a few years back and looked just as if it was painted, no creases nothing.

not too shabby, the darker grey has a better contrast with the maroon and just over all looks better.

im not going for that kind of look though, but its the same concept, 2 major bodies of color, with a light color in between them to break them up and make it flow better.
