Tom,
   I gotta say Of the two I prefer the grey on the bottom.
My personal opinion. The allover grey with an SC stripe sounded awesome.
 To each his own :]

Welp I decided to stick with two-tone. No SC360 stripe. I went to the 
paint shop, looked at a few cars, and found a white compatible with the 
gray: 1997 BMW "Alpine White" Underhood, Dupont F1151. Mixed for top 
coat. It's slightly more putty than top coat "Alpine White III". 
 
Keleigh -- "1999 Audi TT Aviator Grey Perl Effect" is actually a 
metallic; very faint and fine metal. I'm having it mixed WITHOUT the 
metal. Thanks for finding this out for me! 
 
I'm gonna paint it gray on TOP and white on BOTTOM. I fully realize this 
is upside down from tradition, but it works because there is so little 
"up" above the beltline. See these photos:

(I apologize for the TERRIBLE Photoslopped images; I didn't bother to do 
a good job.) 
 
Wheels will be gray. Grille etc will be white. Bumpers, probably white 
but I'll work that out. 
 
I strip it of doodads tomorrow and drop it off... 
 
FINALLY!
