Go all Black. And Yellow is very hard to two tone.

me no likey.. IMO there only a few ways to do a nice two tone on a tib, and even less ways to do it on an rd2 and make it look right.

i have thrown around 4 or 5 ideas on how to do it on my car and i decided to go against it. instead i am going to do a single color paint job with another color accenting it in a theme..

if you INSIST on a two tone, it would work better with two dark colors.

yellow/black doesn't seem like it could work.. then people would call your car a bumble bee.. lol

Post the origonal so It can be chopped correctly.

I've seen yellow and black look good! But you're right socks, we called it "the buble bee".

lol DTN, so it can be done right.. lmao.gif

thats why you do something with colored accents. like bold colored accents, not pinstripes..

lets say for example, the way im doing my car..

mystic teal metallic (hyundai dark blue) that will be the color of the body.

wheels, rear emblem, tails, license plate surround, corners, headlight bezels, grill mesh, tints, vents in hood, scoop in hood will be black..

other ways you could do things is top of car two tone.. like color A hood, roof (along the drip line), hatch, tails, corners, bezels, and color B being the rest of the body.

I'm not going back and doing the details



sorry, I didn't mean to sound like a dick when I posted that. It was painful to my eyes not to see the details in the tiburon.

I like this idea better though
