Looks good? Thinking about painting my mr2 two tone, but not for sure yet. If I paint it two tone, it will be a black top with grey silver bottom like the ones in the picture. If not It will probably just be straight up black. PHOENIX03-21-2006, 08:10 AMi think it looks great. ive thought about the color combo black on top faded into a blue (2005 civic blue) or darker with some glossy black rims. mmmhmmmm that would be sick. DBHMR203-21-2006, 08:40 AMi going to do mine two-tone eventually, black on top and red on the bottom, except the guy down the road stole that idea for his 2, but i think i will make the black go the turn signals and the wing and everything else up, unlike the pics above vaneck3403-21-2006, 09:13 AMThis is my sons he just got it painted a few months back, & then a friend of his distroyed his Differential, so its in the shop right now, but do to get out soon

im not sure if its actually them, but they look kinda similar.

anyone know about the front bumper? im in need of a new one and ive never seen that one before. Dumbscout03-21-2006, 10:56 PMI love the 2 tone look, but I was talked out of it for mine, b.c I have such a dark color, no one thinks it will contrast very well. I'm still half tempted to do it, just to stand out, but then, now much do I really need to stand out when I still haven't seen but 2 other MR2 MKII's in my area,,,,,, lol. Still, I think it looks hot. Dumbscout03-21-2006, 10:57 PMPS what color are you planning on 2 toning? alphonsus03-22-2006, 01:51 AMPS what color are you planning on 2 toning?
Pretty much as the above, maybe a little darker grey/silver. N8s93turbo03-22-2006, 05:39 AMi think its hot. i've always wanted to do that if i ever get my car repainted. vaneck3403-22-2006, 12:17 PMI ordered that off e-bay, you can set it for whatever height you want it too:rofl:


what headlight conversion is that??? X_RoninBlade_X03-22-2006, 01:13 PMI'm thinking of doing a two tone on mine as soon as I get it fixed. I want to do a TOM's kit with a black top and super white on bottom.

What body kit does the car at the bottom have? ecm garrett03-22-2006, 01:16 PMi like it, i got it on mine but my paint is *** now :( conor03-24-2006, 02:08 PMI'm happy with mine. I took it a little further though.. black side molding and tail light center piece. Was thinkinga bout the headlight covers, but... I don't think so. ;)

Thats nice, how much did that cost ya? Lego03-26-2006, 04:28 AMi would do 2-tone but then i would go crazy and get a cf hood andf engine lid and trunk and wing to match it all up Tred03-27-2006, 10:26 PMi think it is sick depending on the color.... hmong33703-28-2006, 02:27 PMI absolutely hate two-tone! DavidV03-28-2006, 02:56 PMI absolutely hate two-tone!

On all cars? Including the NSX, M3 CSL, etc. or only on the MR2? If only on the MR2, on all generations or only the MKII?

It seems like when people make a strong statement either for or against, a little insight into their perspective would help.

oh yeah...that nsx = teh sex 5FistsoftheNorthStar04-21-2006, 02:25 PMI like it. I'm hoping to do my body in the S2000 gunmetal silver and top black. That'll look sexy as hell.

Thanks canadam.:D

Does any one still sell these? How about the GRT front bumpers that look like the border bumpers? Angel04-21-2006, 04:34 PMI like two tone but it's really color specific. I generally like two tones with a lighter color bottom, black on top. Silver should look superb. Angel04-21-2006, 04:35 PMEDIT: Double Posted >. Raptor13x04-22-2006, 08:17 PMIt looks good, though I think a single color can look better. sillyazn04-23-2006, 11:39 PMI like it. What do you guys think about black top, aquamarine bottom? Thinking about doing that in near future...... zman33604-24-2006, 02:16 AMHere is what my two tone looked like. http://www.carpron.com/multisite/d/25457-2/MR2_002.jpg canadam04-24-2006, 01:34 PMHere's Cameron's MR2. When he first purchased it, I wasn't sure about the two tone. After seeing it in person, I might be disappointed when he goes back to all white :undecided

http://camr2.com/camr2.jpg Angel04-24-2006, 03:52 PMWhen I think of two tone I dont think of the line being the line from under the tail lights to above the front bumper. I think of twotone as like...

http://i19.photobucket.com/albums/b164/phreakgirlmr2/camr2tt.jpg

Redline and above..

Im not sure how fond I am of like... the last two pictures type of two tone...

Did they come factory like that? o.o DavidV04-24-2006, 04:08 PMhttp://www.norcalevo.net/gallery/albums/album107/Overhead_Small.jpg

-- DavidV :D canadam04-24-2006, 11:54 PMMost people think of it that way when talking about MKII's, I think. No MKII's came from the factory with the beltline-down two tone.

When I think of two tone MR2's, I think of these :)

Also the stock MKI Sherwood colour, white on gold, and white on silver.

That picture makes your car look like a toy, David :D

V SpeedballTrix04-28-2006, 12:59 PMHonestly I think it totally depends on the car and the colors.
Sometimes it looks sick and other times it makes me wanna puke.

I really like that red and black car (the one in the picture from the top) and that copper and black one (that ZMan posted). Mister-Twoster04-28-2006, 03:44 PMIve been wanting to get a black or carbon fiber hood to kind of emphasize the black top some more.
Funny story, right after getting my two tone, some guy who drives a Talon painted his the EXACT SAMEEE!!! People always say to me "sweet talon!":wtf: ModifiedDude05-31-2006, 10:00 AMHahahaha thats my buddy RJ's NSX


speaking of an NSX ModifiedDude05-31-2006, 10:03 AMDude I love your fogless look, how did you get it that way...and what lip is that ?


Blacktop :thumbup:

V Blacktop06-07-2006, 03:22 PMDidn't come with fogs from the factory, and the kit is aeroware all around. hybridsw2006-09-2006, 11:17 AMtwo tone is cool depending on what the two tone is and also how you accessorize the car. Medusa02-09-2009, 04:47 PMI think the blacktop two-tone is sexy as hell. My favourite is blacktop on Super White. I intend to do that to my deuce whenever I need to repaint it. MR2noobiii02-09-2009, 04:49 PMits nice well heres my car. i miss my car its going to be done soon. but there a two tone what you think?

http://i11.photobucket.com/albums/a167/tranazn/Picture018-1.jpg Medusa02-09-2009, 04:55 PM^That is an amazing blacktop. I love that. Another weird thing, I like the plastic body moulding (that ~1-2" wide piece of plastic that runs along your doors about halfway up) in plain black, not paint-matched. MR2noobiii02-09-2009, 05:01 PMidk i just left it as is thanks well i am getting the bottom repainted grand pix white. crx8_902-12-2009, 05:01 PMTwo-tone can be pretty cool. I might have liked the black n blue one the best though. Sh0ty02-14-2009, 06:30 PMI like the two tone. My personal favorite is white with black top, kind of like how a few of the NSXs were done. The black on silver doesn't look bad at all though. mr2stealth02-14-2009, 08:31 PMi going to do mine two-tone eventually, black on top and red on the bottom, except the guy down the road stole that idea for his 2, but i think i will make the black go the turn signals and the wing and everything else up, unlike the pics above

Very similar to my duece MR2noobiii02-14-2009, 09:57 PMwitch one are u talking about mr2stealth countyboy318802-16-2009, 10:03 PMI love it. I want to do it to my red one when i paint it. MR. MR202-16-2009, 10:08 PMhttp://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb199/jenny_03_04/viewimageresizeCA80JX89.jpg

i think this 1 looks kool ChArLeZ..!02-17-2009, 01:50 AMSo i have been searching and debating on what color i should paint my 2 and i think ive came down to a choice of painting it Satin Black???

but i also plan on replacing my frunk, engine lid, and trunk with carbon fiber ..

Do yu think it would look fresh??

kinda like this Lotushttp://i172.photobucket.com/albums/w21/alderman_charles/flat20elise.jpg Madlife02-17-2009, 10:51 AMI like the Satin black.. I have only had my 2 for 3 winter months so it has gotten very minmal use, It runs good, but needs a little cosmetic TLC which i was debating on a paint job.. but since my rex is white i want to change the color of my MR2, and i heard you need to take the bumpers, skirts, windows, door panels off to get a decent job done... Im afraid that ll end up costing $2500+.... hard to justify on such an inexpensive car. How much have you guys been paying to get the color changed on your 2?

I do like the satin black though.... and i would consider it myself. ChArLeZ..!02-17-2009, 12:18 PMyea same here im 95% sure thats the color imma go wit or mayb a satin charcoal grey so the cf will not stand out so much but most likely the black Medusa02-18-2009, 10:42 PMI've always thought satin/matte black is an amazing color for cars, but I love the two-tone also...and that wouldn't work for two-tone. ChArLeZ..!02-19-2009, 01:35 AMIve thought the same but on every car i see that looks hella nice with the satin black has alot cuts(the lotus,porsche Carrera GT,etc) so im thinkin about gettin a Body kit but not sure which one..but iDk i love the stock body lines of our cars i may juz add a lip kit or something but its wriiten in cement that imma paint it the Satin Black:D BinDeal02-23-2009, 03:55 PMTwo-tone on the MR2, reminds of the 240 or 180. If someone can find a picture of a two-tone 240 or 180. Two-tone doesn't work for me. mr2_guy02-23-2009, 05:09 PMi think it is sick depending on the color....


I agree it depending on the color you pick. BinDeal02-23-2009, 11:35 PMHere's a two tone 240. Oteck04-19-2009, 07:35 PManyone thought of painting the vent area that covers up to the door black? MR2 Drifter04-23-2009, 02:48 AMto do 2-tone you need to match the right colors up with the right rims to make it look nice, I've seen some ugly 2-tone MR2s and I was like "who the hell would do that???" Sh0ty04-23-2009, 11:54 PMCan anyone post a picture of a blacktop, red body MR2 with T-tops? I want a good shot of the roof to see if it's something I want to do. DavidV05-01-2009, 04:17 PMCan anyone post a picture of a blacktop, red body MR2 with T-tops? I want a good shot of the roof to see if it's something I want to do.

-- DavidV :D will.foy05-07-2009, 12:23 PMI think that 2 tone is a hit or miss thing. sometimes it is really nice and sometimes its just really ugly. Achilles05-08-2009, 09:08 AMthat is sick!

I have a super white MR2 and i'm respraying it the same colour over the summer and i'm thinking about doing the black top Sh0ty05-08-2009, 10:37 AMThat's alot of black lol. I'm thinking if I ever get around to paint (got a ton of mechanical stuff to take care of first) I'll have the top done in black. quiksilverly05-18-2009, 11:12 PMI like the idea of two tone with black on the bottom(below the trim) and color of choice above the trim. white, red, or yellow over black sounds sweet. SW21T05-19-2009, 12:16 AMLooks good, Plan on doing it to my MKII if my MKI turns out good. (I'm doing it my self) traintech8602-27-2011, 10:40 PMI like how the 2-tone aw11 stock looks. Not so much a fan of this here. Isn't that called phantom or something? necolorado03-04-2011, 10:34 AMgen 2 mr2 + 2 tone = :barf:
as this thread proves though, to each his own. 780GTS12-09-2011, 04:34 PMin my own opinion, I don't like the MR2 two tone as much as the NSX or Talons

http://i538.photobucket.com/albums/ff344/jimjams69/Project%20album/IMG_0301.jpg vajboi65106-16-2012, 10:00 PMThe only two tones I like are black top/white and black top/yellow. Any other colors im not a big fan of. macatak08-08-2012, 10:16 AMholy thread revival, this one just keeps coming back

my favorite has to be the Black top scheme.
for some reason it always looks right to me, regardless of the body colour.
only one I've seen the just didn't look quite right was black over white
although I think white over black would look OK. SwiftyMcVae10-29-2012, 05:20 PMIm going to Two tone my Deuce this winter season. I think it looks great. Plus ill be using plasti-dip. so if the end result is not up to snub. then off it goes

Also.. I hope that its ok that i Revived this thread. Just wanted to see if there are anymore additions to the 2-Tone club 328FTW10-29-2012, 05:50 PMPlus ill be using plasti-dip.

Why is everyone obsessed with that shit?

I see it posted everywhere, not one car I've seen painted with it looks good though. TomsMR210-29-2012, 07:46 PMJust like a few years ago when everyone was painting their car with a roller brush and rustoleum :lol: painting it the right way is easy enough, and cheap. SwiftyMcVae10-29-2012, 07:47 PMWhy is everyone obsessed with that shit?

I see it posted everywhere, not one car I've seen painted with it looks good though.

I've seen a bunch of cars that had it, and they looked great. Obviously there's a bunch of them out there that look like a.ss. Best part about it, is that you can tear it off if you dont like the end result, or get tired of it. Plus is protects from rocks chips and various other junk thats on the roads. So seems like a pretty decent bang for the buck. K0ukiM0n5teR10-31-2012, 03:02 PMI have plasti-dip on my mirrors. Looks great.
