look at prototype's car, he has the same design w/ yellow
at least it will give you an idea of how it would look.
if you are going to go with an orange how about honda element orange i like that color or the 350z orange ?

I've also been looking at this idea. I think the black top, with orange body would look great, but some people would think you were just too cheap to do it all. I just want to ditch the black because everything shows, and it never looks 100 percent.

you cant please everyone, if thats what you like then go for it, my car is half red/ half stock black, believe me some people like it, and other hate it.... its just indivdual taste.
If you do, the fade effect it will look good, and even the average person will be able to tell its the design.

my car used to be the stock nighthawk black and it just looked cheap to me. it just seemed dull and i hated the blue highlight and sparkly **** in the paint. so i got my car painted bmw jet black which is a lot darker, richer, sleeker, deeper, cleaner - ****....just plain better in every way possible. black is a hard color to keep up with, but if you wash it right and can find someone who knows what theyre doing with a buffer, you can make black look better than any color out there, in the sun or in the shade.

i would advise against doing any color fades, but thats just me. i like the clean, sleek, classy look. you dont wanna rice it up
