Default Lava Orange RS - Exploring Addition of Another Color to have Two-Tone Theme

Was thinking to add the Porsche center and side stripes to my LO RS but then started thinking more about it and came up with a thought to go a bit further and have a two-tone color. The idea is to retain the LO and add another color such as silver or black to have LO/Silver or LO/Black in a two-tone color theme.

I remember several years back Porsche introduced the Cayenne in Transsyberia edition with good two-tone color scheme such as Silver/Orange combination.

Any ideas, suggestions, illustrations and/or pictures will be appreciated!

Wrap the hood in gloss black or matte black then do the same on the roof and do the same to the wing

This would be a win!

Maybe try a 997 GT3RS style decal in a strong blue like Voodoo Blue or Arrow Blue

Given the shape of the car, this wouldn't be a bad idea (in matte).

Default Matt Orange

I wrapped my LO RS in XPEL Stealth, which protects the car better than a wrap and gives in a very different, IMHO cool, look.

Not a perfect 1-1 example. But here's an example of a 2-tone setup with Xpel Stealth.

The Transsiberia looked like the .1 997 RS, classic but not quite fresh anymore.

Might think of tone on tone, matte or lighter orange over LO, then add a black or blue logo. Here are few random pics, Singer of course does it immaculately, the blue on blue Bugatti Vision is wild.

Our cars don't have a natural strike line to break the color which is why you see so many hood and wing color changes but few on the body itself. Although the upper/lower tone change can look good on a 911, retro look, here on a Veyron.
