solid colors look better than 2-tone

What kind of two tone are you planning? Are you thinking of going back to the standard third gen break by painting the ground effects, or are you doing some kind of graphic? If you're looking to just two tone the ground effects, I'd do the body in bright metallic blue with silver ground effects. The problem with gunmetal as a two tone color, is that there are very few colors that it complements IMO. The only color that I would put next to the gunmetal as an accent is silver, and I wouldn't use gunmetal to accent anything else.

My opinion is solid black. Not a big fan of two tones

I love two-tones. I'm a big fan of the silver/black. Mine is the same, but with tint of bronze in the silver.

i had it all gunmetal last year but it just shined, nothing to grab your eyes and run type thing. i was thinking of two tone so i could have the expensive luxury feel then throw in the flashy hot sports car look.

If your going two tone I would do the Blue with silver ground effects if you want it to catch the eye. Silver doesn't really stand out too much, the camaro looks pretty good in metallic blue IMO.

that does sound like a nice idea....

I agree solid color is better. I like black but its a bitch to keep clean.

i got looking at the house of colors book and they make a killer blue. it starts as a medium navy blue metallic that has a pearl effect that turns to a light silver. they also have a silver that has the same pearl effect that shines to a almost reflective black. with all this pearl action, all i have to say is...."bring on the black of night with the parking lot lights making the pearl work overtime!!!" graemlins/nod.gif

I like solid colors better than two-tone but you should definately get some sort of blue.

GM has a new color out on the Equinox and Trailblazer called Superior Blue Metallic that is BEAUTIFUL! It's a real deep bright blue with sort of a purple side cast. Can't wait to have something worth putting it on! tongue.gif
