Ready for Paint

Well we have my car sanded down. Got the bondo on and smoothed out the hail damage. All we have left to do is fix a rust hole and we can paint. Still havnt really decided on what color scheme thou. I know its going to be red, some of it at least. What i aws thinking is everything below the bottom of the windows will be velocity (rx8) red and everythign above will be black. In order for me to make taht look good i will have to tint the windows so it matches better i think. Whats your thoguhts. Also, since im in the great state of michigan, window tint is illegal on side and front windows so what do you think the most i can get away with is?

I think it should look ok. I have a red and black paint scheme that is catching some flak at the moment, it is posted under new paint job. But I have seen rx7s painted that way and they look ok.

Don't do it!!! 2-tone red & black looks like *** IMO & I'm an artist. Even hate it on the Ferrari 355 & 512 Boxer. Dude, find a candy red in the cool range & just use the black trim door guards if you must.
