I was reading the editorial in HCI magazine and it was predicting that the days of the bright/flashy/metallic/single color paint jobs are almost over. It made me start thinking about a two tone paint scheme. Has anyone ever done this in a tib? I was wondering what it would look like to have a black top on my car. That would be CF hood, black roof, rear hatch, and spoiler. Of course the black would also come down to about 3 inches below the window sill, and run from front fender to back. Can someone who is good at photochopping do it to my car for me please? I saw the turtle wax car done with black on top, lime green on the bottom and it looks great!

Here's a link to a picture of mine.
