I am thinking of how and what to paint my freshly resurrected 85 126 300SD. It is currently Mangenese brown and 100% rust free having lived in Memphis its whole life. The sides are dinged and the top surfaces are peeling their clear coat.

I have been thinking of doing a slight color change to Mocca which is a very similar brown but without the metallic.

I am also thinking of putting a lighter (preferably mb) color on the top surfaces and down to that character line which runs along about 3 to 4" below the turn down point on the fenders and doors.

So let's see any 126 two tones that you may have or may have seen as examples so I can think about it better.

Thanks!
