Had a crazy idea the other dat that the merc might look cool in two tone paint, the lower half needs rust repair so its that half that would get painted, i was thinking either mid blue to match the interior, or moon yellow, what do you recon?
And lets have some pics of two tone cars please.

can work either way with carfull colour chice but avoid going very dark on the lower colour or it will just look like you have undersealed the lower half its for that reason I preffer the dark over light look the van will be a dark over light paint job   |
