(just curious) I know the thought of painting a non-oem two-tone car with a two-tone paint job is fakery or whatever, but what's everyone's thoughts on painting a non-two-tone car two-tone, if it is to preserve the two-tone Silvia body components, rather than paint them to match the car? Is that slightly more respectable?

The way I see it, faking the funk on a two-tone paintjob is fine as long as you meet a few standards.

1.) Do a complete color change. This doesn't mean just door jambs and trunk, this means everything stripped out of the car and everything repainted. I guess just jambs and trunk and engine bay would 'work', but you really should do it complete. Imagine lifting the hood on a 'two-tone' car to find out it was once red. Ugh.

2.) Get new black trim tape to go in the body line. You can't have two tone without the tape.

3.) Don't do it to a 91+. Only 89/90s.
