Two-tone paint guide
Hey guys... anybody here has kind of a two-tone paint guide for this AE86 ? Tone to tone paint measurement or such... planning to paint red/black tone since the car original/current paint is red. Thanks.

thanks but that is only for color code... what i mean is any guide for the tone/paint height/length measurement from one color to the one.

I think most people mimic the stock two-tone paint:

Height of the lower color would be the top of the bumper, the rubber/plastic strip would be the complementing color.

Only thing you need to keep in mind is that the panda is different at the rear: it raises a bit to the rear lights.

Make sure that for the rear hatch portion that the black paint sweeps up into the license plate frame area, this is a detail many people forget. Also the paint on the wheel arches does not fully extend up into the curve, but stops almost 1cm away from the curve.
