Two tone paint job

I apologize if there is another forum already up like this but since I'm on my phone, the "search this forum" doesn't work very well. I'm looking to re-paint my truck. But I'm uncertain on what color combination I should use. I was leaning towards black and red but that seems like something a lot of people would do. I want something different. Also I want it to be the kind of two tone where they fade together in the middle somewhere, not where the top is one color and the bottom is another. Any ideas?

I personally like red and grey the only problem I see with a fade paint job is if you have a accident trying to match the fade with rest of the truck would be a problem.

That'd look good. A dark red with a charcoal grey? I don't plan on doing it myself.

I'm talking about if you have a fender bender or someone dents up your bedside or something trying to match rest of the paint with whatever you have to repaint will be difficult. More than likely entire side of the truck would have to be repainted.

Oh ok lol. Yea I could see where that could get messy. I just don't want the same old boring one color paint job anymore.

If you want something different, why not try a chrome illusion paint job? In case you're not familiar with it, it changes color from different angles in the sun, like night and day different.... There is also different options like Alsacorp has available. Click the link, then point at paints and additives, then special effects paints. Check out some options there for ideas. If you are looking for unique, this is the way to go.

They've got some really cool ideas there. I like the eclipse and the mystic. Maybe even the cobweb. So many choices!!!!
