Contemplating a new paint job for my 5th gen, was considering about going two tone, I know there are a few gens that have gone this route would like to see your color combinations and design, lets see whatcha got

 

What colors were you considering?

 

Black and Blue

 

I was thinking of GreyLustre & Black, nothing too crazy, think it would be subtle...here are some random pics I found:







Not my taste but two tone nonetheless:

 

 

theres a two tone 7th gen on my block thats either grey lustre or silver with black [usually see it in the night so i cant tell]...next time i see him ill snap a pic

 

My whip on the right

 

 

Damn I need spacers badly My bad thats OT

 

Found a few more:



Clarion Demo Car





Old Friend

 

that doesnt look like a max at all

 

I'm assuming you're talking about the "Clarion" one, got that pic from maximasdownunder.org, its a site for Maximas and Cefiros in New Zealand and Australia

 

not my car

 

 

Now thats sharp!

 

I love the black and red. Those colors look so sharp together.

 

Leave the two-tone for Subaru Outbacks. Does not look good on a Maxima IMO.

 

Nice guys love the two tone look!!

 

hey anyone ever seen a fade im thinking like a dark blue on bottom just about halfway up doors fade into white? someting different instead of the straight line two tone?

 

Fixed

 

I agree, it only looked good on the 2nd gen 85-88 Maxima GL/GXE's from the factory.....The rest of the Gen's it just does not look right, well on the 1st gens so so.

 

Of all the pics you showed I think the black and white had the best contrast-a light color contrasted by a darker color. It is a matter of personal preference of course but I think that any light-dark color combination is the best. Black and red are a little too close-uless you go with a very light red. That's just my opinion, though. In summary my advice is to keep the two colors you pick from being too close together. You want them to complement one another but not to
blend in to the point that you cannot easily distinguish one from the other.

Good luck with your project and I hope the end result is one you will really like!!!

 

Two tones not made for maxims, or I'm just not a fan if it
