    It's a long ways off but I have to plan ahead.

    Because of the seat color (colour, it's a Brit car) I want to paint the Cortina grey, hopefully two tone. There's a sharp edge where the horizontal hood meets the vertical fender, this line goes aft along the top of the door and down the back of the car. That will be the line of separation, on a boat it's called a hard chine if that helps.

    Here's the drill:

    Paint the entire car in light to medium grey, paint the top surfaces, hood and trunk a darker grey, the rool light.

    Or

    Paint everthing below the hard chine light grey, paint everything above it, including the roof, dark grey.

    Colours will be separated by some tasteful but totally other spectrum pinstripe.

    How long have you had this?! Awesome Mk2 220 (240?).

    Engine plans?

    Sorry, I'm no help with photoshop.

    I don't remember exactly when I bought it but it's surprisingly rust free. Last registered in 1991.

    Engine is a Supercharged 3.8 from a Thunderbird Supercoupe. The new cam alleges 340hp.

    $2010 - 2011?

    Thanks, but make the hood and trunk the clolur of the roof.

    I think I would sperate the colors at the line next to the door handle. I think this would lend itself better to stripping to mask the change

    But that would make it look like it's wearing a coat.

    Sample to my logic.
    Keep in mind I have zero artistic ability so no offense taken if you do not like my idea.

    Wow! Maybe a bigger contrast in color is better. Maybe that only works on boats. I like it.
