Two tone red lower / black upper paint scheme

[myers]

Going to look at a 2019 Max that is red. Not crazy about all the red but it’s a really good deal. I have been looking for pictures of a red expy with the upper section black or a darker grey. I was thinking a wrap on the upper section just to tone down the red may look good. All the chrome and wheels would go same color as upper section.

Anyone know of any pictures or a website/app where I could mock something up?

Thanks!

On a different SUV I had a wine red (dark red) colour for the top 90% of the truck. The bottom 10% was Pewter colour (light sand / gray). That was 25 years ago. lol.
I liked it, because Pewter didn’t show the dirt as fast.

Most REAL photo editing apps (not MS paint or photos) will allow you to change the colors, gradients, transparency etc of practically any image....

In terms of functions & features, Photoshop Express is mostly web-based, will work on your phone or computer, and offers a free, 7 day trial, BUT it REQUIRES you to give Adobe exclusive ownership rights over all your images & work

The open sourced app called "GiMP" has almost all of the same functions & features, and is free....there are others but this one has been around for a long, long time & receives frequent updates, without all the downsides listed above..

HINT: Set your phone camera to take .jpg or .jpeg images, and snap some good, close-up pics of the vehicle, then import them onto your computer & manipulate them to your delight !

Please post some before/after shots if you can

Oh my, please no....

If they had only skipped that white band (and maybe added smoked headlight assemblies), it would have looked pretty good IMHO

I don’t think you can save fire engine red… besides painting over it.
If it would be that dark red burgundy velvet and black… it wouldn’t be that bad.

I have a ruby red expedition and was thinking about wrapping the top black. There was one guy who did it, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ncGT1DxoE8
