Another silver/black combo. I am doing that same combination but my top will be black and the bottom silver. I am going to go with a thin accent line to break up the two. I wouldnt go as thick as the photoshop pics. I wil have flames at the end of my accent line. Mabey someone can photshop some flames or something on there for you. Does your line wrap all the way around the back of your car or end at the rear?

Travis thanks for the input. I was thinking of that also. How big do you think at the back?? thanks Tony thinking about that ,maybe smaller with than on the photoshop?!? Maybe I should do some techy looking air brush in your newest picture one on the quarters? Camaroboy I think your right that would be to big for just an accent color . Do you have any renderings of your car. I seen a good looking two tone on the green camaro on Evolutions Musclecar site. I like the green on the front fender to help break up the twotone.What do you guys think of going around the back???? Not sure how it wiil look in such a small space? :unibrow:

The only decent renders of my car are here that I made in photoshop. Again they arent that good but at least they are a couple ideas for you. I am going with something close to the 3rd one. Here are my photoshops http://www.lateral-g.net/forums/showpost.php4?p=19274&postcount=19
It is post #19 in "The official Illusion paint scheme"
If I was you I would not wrap the green all the way around the car. It just wouldnt look right.

I would say no more than 2.5in 3 at absolute most then maybe bring it back down in size toward the back of the car and end it at the back of the quarter.....then around the back a simple fineline pinstripe or somethng along those lines!
