That looks beautiful now! Well done! I think a set of Euro bumper overriders and the front nose badge will finish it off perfectly..just my suggestion :oops:

Was the two-tone paint a factory option on ghias? If so what years do you see this? Also, does anyone have any up close pictures of the stock two-tone paint? I am thinking about painting my top black as well and want to see exactly where the paint lines are. Thanks!

There are a lot of red Ghias out there, the two tone sets it apart. Years ago I had a 67 coupe that was two toned, white top and blue body. It came from the factory that way. Looked pretty sharp too! Your black top makes the wheels stand out. Also, it makes it look more "vintage". Either way..you have a great lookin' Ghia!

I painted mine to hide some existing paint damage on the roof.

I get a lot of compliments on the 2-tone paint...

and I like it a lot.
But then again - I love this car!

here she is the next day and out of the paint. we hav not put very much of the accs back on yet, just enough to get some photos. She had a bath but we have not wet sanded and buffed her yet.

we put a little prism powder in the clear coat, what a difference it makes.

So cool. That's the same paint job as the '66 I had when I was in college in the 70's in Houston. I used to love coming out after classes to the skin searing hot black basket weave vinyl interior. :D
