I'm just checking on everyone's opinion on the paint scheme for the car. Should I just have it painted one color after finishing the body work, or should I stick with the 2 tone scheme thats on it?

Well, if it was my car, I would go with something similar, yet different than what you have now.  Maybe a Starsky and Hutch stripe?

That might be something... What I'm actually thinking of doing, is keep it two tone, but rounding off the paint around the eindow, and filling in that space where the darker color goes in between the lighter color on the rear quarter behind the rear window.

I think that would look alot better than it does now. Actually anything would look better than the rust and the olive color sprayed around the gas cap that is obviously non-factory.

After seeing the replies and how it would look with a different 2 tone scheme, I have decided to go with a 2 tone scheme like Priest did... I found out the prevoius owner did the 2 tone scheme himself, but I don't much care for it.

Yeah...

I'm sorta thinking about just getting the car repainted a dark hunter green to go with the interior...

I got a while to decide on a paint scheme as it's goin to take a while to get the body fixed up.
