Title: Diff paint combo
Post by: Chooglin on May 12, 2007, 12:38:08 PM
ok,after doing some body work and priming the bottom part of the car,I am thinking I want to go with two tone paint now.

I am thinking of painting the bootm part "charcoal grey" along with the mirrors,head light trim  and pillar strips and leaving the black molding,black.............what do you guys think?

If anyone cares to photo shop this for me,I would be thankful

I think the charcoal color on the bottom would look good,but I'd leave the mirrors black.Just leave the charcoal on the body,not the other parts.Polish the black plastic mirrors to a high shine and call it good.

I painted the lower half of my old light sage green '85 T-Bird grey after doing body work to it and it looked great. I also plan on doing the lower half of my white '88 in grey when I paint it. I actually made a thread about it, floating a few ideas a few months ago:

I think these cars were made for two-tone. Ford must have thought so too, as they did just that with the 87 XR7's (and the Fila). A few simple line drawings of some of my ideas for my car:

Nope. For that I'd need a time machine (haven't actually painted it yet). I don't have any pics of the '85 either, if that's what you meant - I owned that car back when we had to walk ten miles uphill both ways to get on the internet...
