Stay with the rendering and do a matching dark red gut.

Do you plan on keeping the car? If so, do you want that paint job in ten or twenty years? If you plan on flipping the car...I would go all black.

Default Paint

As David said, do you plan to keep the car? Graphics on a paint job might date it. Some cars body styles just look better a solid color. In my opinion,
I think the solid black would look better, and you wouldnt be sorry later on if two-tones or graphics fell out of style. Just my 2 cents worth.

Im not doubting the two tone but the second owner is.

We plan to enjoy the car for a year or two before selling it unless someone just had to have it and offered the right money for it. Its not something we would be keeping for 10+ years.

I know some paint jobs get dated faster than others but truth is alot of cars get painted every couple years anyways.

Honestly if you have a buyer lined up right now, paint it the color he wants, after he pays for it . Then take the money and run and build another...That's just me though.

I like the rendering, but it reminds me too much of Kris' car.

I would go all black, easier to sell.
