I don't see two tone on current cars. This was the trend from the manufacturers in the late 80's through 2000. IMO the two tone is If you want two tone a vinyl wrap of the lower preserves the original paint on the car.

I agree with RA40. I think it was a very hot trend especially in the 90's.
It works well to have a 2 tone paint on an LS400 for example. But I don't envision it looking very well on the bulky shape of the 430.


However, I found some pics. I am not sure if you want to go 2 tone paint like a Rolls Royce, or 2 tone as in whatever is under the chrome silver belt that goes all around the car. Or just a whole new custom idea. Hope they help to inspire, spark an idea.

Good luck with this project. I hope you can make the 430 look really nice with a 2 tone paint.

Two toning a car will make it look smaller.
