Good Paint Idea.. Need your Opinion!!

Ok.. I'm getting hooked up with a free paint job (My G's Ivory Pearl) and I've searched the whole forum and seen almost all the custom paint jobs and I really didn't see anything that wow'd me.. I was down at the Lamborgini Dealership today and saw a color combo that was to die for.. Check it out!

Is anyone good at photo shop to try to emulate this paint theme?? And how do you guys think this would look on a black G??

Next Option is going with this pearl white..

The black Gallardo just looks black to me, with no color combo unless you are including the interior upholstery. The areas (hood, roof, etc.) that look a different color is just due to lighting and the angle of the panels, or so it appears. Take a look at the top of the rear fender and you get that same shade. I can't see how/why Lamborghini would two-tone such an odd location that's floating by itself in a sea of black, which is why all of the other areas seem to just be different shades due to the lights.

As for the Lambo white... ...it looks great, but going from Infiniti's IP to Lamborghini's pearl white isn't much of a change. If you're going to go custom, you might as well make it a little more noticeable.

that lambo has wierd lighting or someone didn't edit the photo well. if you're talking about how the hood looks 2-tone, i say pass. our cars hoods are not angular enough to pull that off. whichever color you get, you should get a black roof. it looks very good.
i say you try the E46 M3 CSL blue color or a BMW gray/silver color.

Well noted.. The lambo is a combo of Metallic Black and Flat black.. I can see how it wouldn't work on our cars because of the rounded curves vs lambo's sharp curves.. I'm open to suggestions on what color I should get.. Pictures would be helpful..

I'd go with the paint scheme on mixturepinoys car in his avatar. J/K or am I ???

I would go with... you know what now that I think about it a metallic brown like was mentioned would actually look pretty good with your willow interior. Plus it would be different.
