hey guys I'm gaining interest on painting the car two tone... I would like to use the silver thats on it now, but paint either the top or the bottom halve...

I need some suggestions. tonight I was watching the overhauling show and they did a silver bottom and blue top on a suv.. chip foose on the mothers powerball commercial has that magnum kinda of a redish copper bottom and a silverish top... I also like onyx top divided by a red pin stripe and the silver bottom...

it can't be the whole car painted since i love my silver color, the suggestions must include the silver some how...

what do you guys think?.......

 

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO



I Love the Silver

 

me too... i just want something different, since I can prob get it painted for free or a real low price you know..

I know a buddy at a body shop that can hook it up for me..

 

K - I might allow it...lol....but silver MUST remain the dominant color...I don't know do something in photoshop so I can get an idea of what your thinkin..I just think the Silver is the best color you can buy the max in...jmo

 

you know my first choice was black right..lol...

yea a photochop would be nice of different options...

red/silver
black/silver

and yes the silver must remain the dominant color...

 

I could see a silver with a fade down to some kind of dark - smoke / onyx.

 

I'd like to see it with the oem dark blue/ silver or should i say silver / dark blue

 

Where are you thinking about breaking the color?
Like this? Help me understand...

 

the headlight and the tail light both have a corner on them, I was thinking off the corners connecting them then runing just above the door handles so it runs parallel to the line on the side already..

get me?


thats a fuc*ing nice car in that pic..

 

the colors will split at the red line....

 

not a fan of the two tone... but interested to see what the photoshop would look like...

silver/black has been overdone imo...

how about silver and MAJESTIC BLUE!!!
then if you dont like it.. you can paint the rest of the silver to MAJESTIC BLUE!!!

 

You know you can't stop there .... you'll should do 2 tone leather to match....it will be unique thats for sure....

 

I think this would look sick, maybe make the top red. People bring on the photoshop.

 

Maybe you could handle this the way Nissan did on the two-tone versions of the 1985 and 1986 Maximas.

The top could stay the same liquid silver, while the bottom could be painted a slightly deeper silver, almost pewter. You might consider doing the bottom using the silver of the 5th gen Maxima. It is slightly deeper/darker than the 6th gen liquid silver. I really like the 5th gen Maxima silver.

This would not be a big contrast, would still be considered as tasteful, yet would clearly set your Maxima apart from production models.

I'm not a big fan of having too dramatic a contrast between the colors of a two-tone car. I think I developed that aversion during the 175,000 miles I put on my 1955 Pontiac Bonneville, which had a striking 'firegold' (rust) and 'white mist' (cream) contrast that spoke volumes (all untrue) about my taste. That was my last two-tone vehicle, and I can assure you it always be my last.

 

How about these:
Tek-Tone Onyx

Tek-Tone Radient (a bit off)

 

Tek let me know if these work, I can do other colors if you want...

 

Jsmith, how about spliting the headlights and the bumper like this:

 

I like it.... put a red line separating the two colors..



the red I think needs to be in revers order.. red on the bottom..

 

Have you thought about red bottom and silver top ..

I like your plan to be different ... go for it...

Maybe Just red to the bumper cut off line and up the front V .

Dark on top of a lighter colour is very heavy well IMO ...

 

I like the idea. Personally I think you could pull off the black/silver look. But only if you tint the windows really dark IE 5%. I've seen it on a few magnums like the one shown below and it looks really hot.

 

That's a bit more work, maybe tonight when I get home...

 

yo tek i think it would be tight with the two tone but not make the second color be to dominate. you know what i mean? LIke rather then having the whole hood be painted let the second tone come to the middle something like this LEXUS IS
www.rankmyride.com?page=cars/view&CID=1065/
BUt let the painted area come in more and not have it so wide. Let me know if you understand what i mean.

 

thats sexy. im planning on doing mine if i ever get a place to paint it. gunmetal on top, pearl on bottom, turqouis pinstripe. word. executive style

 

Try smoke!!! If you want a drastic change I would vote for Red or black on the bottom, silver on top. But if you want a transition or fade, it would be Smoke on the bottom and Silver on top. Try it out!

 

Can one of you photoshop guru's make a pic of this paint job on my car. Please...

 

I too have been wanting to do this forever. Especially after chip did the lexus IS300.
My only prob. is what goes with white??

 

I like my two tone. It is on a 2nd gen but nice color combo from the Nissan Factory, IMO. If I get it repainted Im going to keep this color combo. Its a rare color combo that was an option only the 1988 models. I think you should stop the color at the front hood.

 

what goes with white? doesn't everything go with white? flames are alot tougher when you aren't using fine line masking tape.

 

[QUOTE=Tek-Niq]

Please don't do that.

 

Hey Tek, you could always borrow some ideas from this guy:



It seemed to go over well.... ??


Im still debating on doing something like this

 

Your Max looks GREAT the way (color) it is.

 

Im loving the ghost flames.

 

hahahaha. Nooooo!

Tek, youre on to something buddy, I say go for it. Blue on top with silver bottom would be NICE!!

Get the digits of any of those car show biatches?? The one with the goatee is hot!

 

this one is good, looks nice... but take the DUDEs out of the pic..lol...

good one..HAHAHA

 

KC, a big yellow stripe goes with white..... HAHAHAHAH

 

lexus looks good, but he has hood scoops to paint around.. i don't, i don't think it would go with a flat oem hood..

I like it though...

 

I like the one lux bond did---- see how in the front he rounded it off instead of following the squareness of the max hood--- That looks good... like to see a frontal with the round lines


btw --- I'd still hit it with the beards

 

How about with the silver on top and black on the bottom? Can anyone show how that might look? Then I'd call my ride, "Fade to Black"

 

haha this will be the craziest 6th gen ever..i like it though

 

Can't really get into the two-tone. Just my opinion. But the photoshops are SO FUNNY, especially the bearded chics! LOL.. I thought some CANDY paint would look sick. Like a candy blue with chrome metal flakes. Maybe with your silver, a carbon fiber hood with a custom painted symbol on it would look cool. Anyway, good luck if you decide to go with the two-tone. PEACE....
