dont do it, these cars looks like **** 2tone, unless you do wide fenders (WHICH IS NOT WIDEBODY), and really do up the outside, just leave it 1 color, it looks a **** ton better....promise

Two tone can look great if done right...my fc is being painted white with a black scoop black spoiler and a few other things but over all very little black... its ur car so if you like the look of a black roof go for it

Two tone looks best on hot rods. Plus to do it right you'd have to use expensive paint and probably metallic or candy colours. So I also say don't do it, it won't look nice at all.

I thought 2-tone on an FC looked good when I was 15.....

You will regret it after a short time.

Not a good idea. I think 2-tone works better on smoother cars where you can make the color change more organic.
