Two-tone... NO. That would look like hell.

Check out the House of Kolor website. I'm sure you can find something there you like. If not, you'll at least get ideas.

i work at a bodyshop... a kid once painted his ford RUSTang with house of kolor orange it was 3 stage it cost him about 3 g's and we gave him a deal
3 stage means....
our paint is 2 stage meaning u put paint then clear
3 stage is like pearl white..... u put paint then pearl then clear ... reallly expensive for custom work plus realllly hard to match color good so you could end up with diff shades after an accident.
also it will be more expensive because you have to prep and paint inside the doors trunk and hood/engine bay other wise ur say... blue car will have silver all inside the door
( i did this to my car from tan to black and its a bitch takes a long time too
just go with a metallic blue or orange then get black rims with lip and paint the lip with the blue or orange and get hella dark tint

Orange and blue... I love that color combo because it's on opposite sides of the color wheel so it's a real attention grabber.

you could get white with copper pearl and get bronze rims
or theres blue white green red purple pearls and a couple more variations of those

but u can mix any colors .... red with blue pearl looks sick

but make sure the body shop knows how to make custom colors because unless its used on a car u know of already they probly cant mix it

the only way you will be happy with your 'custom' paint job, is to infact make it custom. Make it the way you want. and not the way someone else on here wants. For Example, i painted my civic a color no other civic has. why? because i listened to all the things people wanted me to get, and came up with the one thing nobody mentioned.

heres my car and how it came out after a custom paint job/shaving. oh and if you need any help, its easy to take a picture of any car and change the color of it. so let me know
