Ha! I've got a note to start this exact thread  ... saved me the time looking for photos. Yes it is 'wrong' and rmad does not approve, but I'd love to see some examples that work. |

Random memory jog moment;
When I was a kid I used to draw cars with two-tone paint jobs. My mother once pointed out that the ones with the lighter colour underneath always looked better, her theory was this is how animals are, and our eyes/brain are more accepting of it.
If somebody could post a pic of a deer or the like, that would be lovely.

Ford and several manufacturers commonly did certain models with a dark grey bottom in the mid-late 80's early 90's  |

You beat me to it. As above, since you don"t have much of a crease above the door handles for the early '80's style two-tone, my first thought was the mid-'80's lower body style with wheel arch lips.    Wow TX-5 Telstars are rare now!   Oh dear. edit Silver over white is very unusual.. interesting |

Thanks for those pics so far, guys, keep'em coming... In case vontrash´s mom was right I should consider painting the lower part in white. Any pics of a white car with silver top? sorry white with silver is a No No in my garage, |
