Two tone paint

It seems to me there was a thread on this subject before but I can't find it.  There was a picture of a red and black Tbird that I thought was nice.  I'd like to see it again.  I'm looking for paint ideas for my 86.

Can't see it.  This stupid government computer doesn't show photobucket.

On the picture I've attached the car was red from that body line up and black from that body line down.

Yup.  That's the ticket.  I was thinking of the reverse scheme but that is very nice.

There are so many great looking Birds and Cougars on this site.  It's very tempting to simply copy one of the greats.

I'm quite taken by 84TBirdTurbo42's red and black and Vinnies green Birds.  I've had to put 84TBirdTurbo42's on my computer desk top to inspire me to go forward.  I'm going to leave the side trim on and do the sides in black and red on top. 

I really can't wait to get started.  But first the mundane stuff must be done.  Valve cover gaskets, a/c high pressure hose.  New heater core and the ever leaking oil pressure switch replacement.  Oh and I almost forgot the very dead Ford factory stereo, it makes awful noise and does not play music,  lots of hissing, it must go.

Not to mention the scrubbing of the interior, replace the visors and headliner.  Then the painting can begin.  I may even keep but refinish the poly wheels.  The trim rings on mine are near perfect.  There's lots to get done this winter so when warmer weather comes the painting can start.

lol thanks guys, i wasnt expecting this much rave over it, theres alot more detail in the paint too. the gold stripe has a silver and red pin stripe. you guys have really flattered me. honestly, this shows u can do this on the cheap too, i have about 750 into paint and materials. my uncle painted it for me and showed me how to do body work. and while the car isnt perfect, i wouldnt want it to be. I dont need a trailer queen. As for the side molding, mine was so badly warped and peeling i just got rid of it.
