I'll be painting the body kit next week so I havto make my final decision. Its been causing me to stall on the project here so I havto make the decision now. So what do you guys think......stick with the two tone, or make the whole car green.

Monotone would look better with the kit.

Ok I made a previous thread and forgot to include a poll. (thanks lexusk8) So mods if you will, go ahead and delete my other post on this topic.

Should I go with single tone or two tone for the painting of my car. The single tone will be emerald pearl and the two tone would be the grey and emerald pearl like the stock color. Please give me your opinions because I am painting next week. The cars been sitting in my garage gathering dust so now its time to paint it. Thank you.

I used to be two tone but I had the bottom painted all one color.

it would be too "busy" for two colors.

go with the monotone look.

The drastic angles and sharp edges will cast shadows and hues that will give somewhat of a two tone look.

it'll look better all green

Lexus007 Jul 30, 2004 12:40 AM

1 color tone. :D

Normally I'd say two-tone, but with that kit, just one color. All black right!?

lexusk8 Aug 2, 2004 05:44 AM

I think two-tone may work on the 1st-gen ES if done right. Just check out these Windoms over in Japan ;)

thanks lexusk8! those help a lot. I'm thinking more towards two tone now but then again the single tone would probably look better with my kit since I dont have that vip style. but I still cant tell. I'll see the price difference. Thanks everyone for your opinions.
