Thinking about tu tone paint, aybody have pics.?

I'm not that happy my cardinal red, well I love it cleaned up it's just beautiful. Problem is it never stays that way. Always said I would never have another dark metallic red, this is number five. But with 6000 miles and under $12,000 I could not pass it up. I just talked to my bodyman today about paint in the spring and would like some ideas on a tu tone paint job. I can live with the top half in dark red but was thinking about something like a pearl white on the bottom. Anybody have pics.? Something like this:

What about silver on the bottom. You could have purchased mine for $13,000 with 15k miles.

i think a pearl off white would look good. maybe even a cream with pearl. i wouldnt just "live with the top being red" i wish now i would have went a completely different color on bottom. heres mine

Don't get me wrong I like the red when clean it's just the bottom gets so drity looking. Need something to hide the dirt between washings. When I first got it I washed it every day after work now it's once a week and now that it's cold and snowing they salted the roads last night I don't even want to drive it.
I lkie the cream/off white pearl idea.

If your interior is beige,go with a shade of cream or beige or a lighter red (with a cream or beige separation pinstripe dividing the reds).If it's gray,go with a gray or a silver.If you have black trim,go with black on top or maybe a lighter metallic red on the bottom.
