I have to look at the photos later at home, but seems they are blocked here.
I always preferred a solid color for my 67 RS Camaro, but it is based on that person's tastes. A friend of mine painted his 69 Cutlass a two tone (in early 1990's) that looked rather cool. If you remember the Bereta Green color of the 1990 pace car. Here is the wiki on it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:19...ar_Replica.jpg

His Cutlass was painted that color, with a black vinyl top, and the top of the 442 hood was painted gloss black. The bumpers were flush with the body, but it did well in all the shows. So, it depends on the car and how it is done.

It looks good and it looks done well. I have seen some that the line seperating the two didn't look right. However, I am going with one color and possibly different gloss levels of same color.

Agreed and ultimately your car and your money. I personally woudl steer away form two tones, kind of ages some cars (A lot of two tons look like 80's Prostreet of sorts), while a solid color never goes out of style.

On the other hand saw some killer two tones at Sema, a satin black top and glossy black bottom as well as the orange producer Stang.

But again, you will get tired (as you may now, thus your question), of the dual tone after a while. I painted all my last projects solid and have zero regrets (I almost did a dual tone on the maro and am so glad I did not!!)

Beautiful camaro BTW!!
