Photoshop request, two tone

I was wondering if some of you PS guru's could indulge me witha two tone on this shot. I'd liek a black section between the subtle body line just under the door handle running front to back along it, and ending again on the body line between the bottom of the door moulding and the bottom of the door. So there'd be red, black and red again going from top to bottom.......or also one with only black below the subtle line under the door handle.

Also, if you've got any neat ideas or something you'd liek to try/would like to see on it, please go ahead. I'll be painting it again over the winter and am tossing around the idea of adding some more colours to it.

Here's a good side proflie:



it might be tricky with all the reflections on the side, but do whatever you can - THANKS!!

hmmm interesting.....not as hot as it was in my mind...

Would it be a bother to do two more, one a little lower/wider to about halfway between the bottom of the moulding and the door, and one more with just the bottom half all black?

Thanks alot though, looks nice (the photoshop work )

Only 2-Tone that looks good, if you can execute it right.

Just tossing around some thoughts, I'm not really sold on anything yet but I think a two tone is the only real "add on" type paint effect I can do that'll really fit the body design in its current (less the few other ssublte changes to come ) but its really gotta fit.


Southsideslider that last one on the bottom really looks cool! Seems very 80's which I think may work haha

I just need to figure out how to end them at the front and rear thats the only other part that makes or breaks the job...thanks for the thoughts, if there's any more post them up...I can always make it all red again later

EDIT: after thinking about that last layout, I'm thinking I should put the bumper strips back into the front and rear and follow the black around underneath them the whole way....that would add a bit of the originality back as well.....plus they'll be S4 haha

Check out pics of the car with the windows UP I've thought about the top....tossed around the idea of adding just a black border to the rear window which continued around the top edge of the rear finish panel and the sport spoiler....very muscle carish, but eehhhhh i dunno.

I know it's not red and black, but I've always been a fan of Hypertek's two tone fc.

haha exactly - this is no spring chicken here, my car's old enough to legally drink in the states

The car may not get a two tone, but it may very well get it.......or something else!

Loosen your undergarments people!!


If there's any more design's or thoughts feel free to post them up.

Lots of parents love their kids the way they are, but those damn kids still go and get tatoos!!!

yea yea, split down the middle of do it or don't! That's where my brain's at still even after looking at the pictures.

I like the originality of the two tone and the simple fact that its DIFFERENT. But I'm still just not 100% sure........more like 50%

Any other layout ideas? Maybe three tone? The bottom all black with a little sivler breaking up the black/red Simulate the feel/look of the wheels....toss em' out there!
