I would do it at the upper body line. Wise move going away from the pear white. It's an awsome color but extremely $$$$$$$$

I like the one with the black stripe. But I think I am going to use the upper body line to break it up. Thanks for doing the photoshops. :D I really appreciate it! Every one has really helped me decide. I am going to go with silver on the bottom and blue on the top. I might even add the black line between the two colors.

on another note (because i'm piggybacking) the charcoal paint on my car isn't listed as a two-tone color on the door label and only the black is the only color listed there and on the 999 report, however, the paint line for the two-tone is clearly behind the rear bumper moldings and behind the panels on the inside of the doors... does that mean that i do have a factory two-tone paint job?

Hmm that's weird. Mine is tue tone metalic silver over metalic gray and it has that paint code on the door tag. Your paint looks factory. Perhaps they goofed at the factory when the put the paint code on the door tag. Or maybe someone had the dealer paint the car tue tone and they did a hell of a job. I don't know if your car is like this but the top color should have gone on first so if you look under the hood the inner fenders should be the same color as the top color as well as the underside of the car.

anyway, to answer the question, yes the paint code for the car is black, which is everywhere else (in the engine bay, etc.)..... this was a dealer demo, so god only knows what they did to it...... i even have a ford sticker in the trunk talking about my locking lugnuts...... but those are definitely aftermarket rims..... anyway, i guess the car's just a freak and i should be glad the wife wants it :)..... another thing..... near the driver door, the paint is chipping off (from god knows what) and there doesn't seem to be any black under the charcoal color....... would the factory have painted it all black then applied the 2nd color over it, or was that just a waste of paint and what i should expect from it being an aftermarket two-tone?

HELP!!!!!!any parts for 1987 cougar XR7 , free would be nice .

this thread for more than one reason has got me messed up... And the bad part is i read the whole thing. I guess i might as well add something.

they probably wouldn't have painted the whole car black and put the charcoal on top. That is a waste of paint, the dealer probably sanded it down lightly and painted a coat or two of the charcoal. But i don't know nothing about factory two tone paint.

Hmm now you've got me wondering about factory tue tone paint. My car has silver under the hood, in the trunk, and the underside is silver as well. The car has gray in the door jambs and behind the head and tail lights. The gray stops just past the rock panel on the underside of the car. Ford might have painted the car all silver and then added charcoal over it. I just don't want to chip my paint to find out
