Two Tone Paint

I am looking for pics of two tone paint jobs. I am really interested in the light green/pale yellow two tone paint the factory used. Could you guys post some pics for me so I can get an idea on what I want to do with my 76 Ranger XLT.

Thanks for the pictures

Right now my truck is all dark green (factory paint) but I would like to paint it a two tone. It is a Ranger XLT and has all the side chrome on it. All the vehicles you guys have sent me pictures of are great examples of how nice a two tone paint job can look on these trucks. Thanks for the examples and ideas.

If mine was a solid color, like your dark green, I would be very tempted to go with Wimbledon White for the second two tone color. Just my thought!

That's a great thought! (I'm a little biased)

My truck is Dark Jade and Wimbledon White with all the chrome the OP mentioned. You can see it in my sig, or check out my gallery.

For what it's worth, just saw one sitting on a used car lot the other day, not sure what year, not too good at that. Had the rounder grill. Anyway it was lt. ( baby? ) blue & white. Somebody had even painted the grill the same blue. Didn't stop to look, just saw it driving by. Looked pretty good. Personally, didn't like the painted grill. Think the original black looks better. My opinion only, not saying it's wrong. To each his ( or her as the case may be ) own. Was 2 toned like the green / tan Bronco from LostInFords.
