2-tone Suggestions?

Hey guys! I own a Honda jazz 2006, I was thinking of 2-tone color my car.
My stock color is alabaster silver and it would go really nice with the contrast
of black.

This is what i was thinking, my hood, my roof and my hatch I'm planning to
make that as the second tone which is black, I've seen a few other jazz in
other countries done it the same and it looks so sweet and slick!

I know some of you are probably saying GO FOR IT then! but the problem is
I'm not sure if i should repaint my hood, roof & hatch or just wrap it with
stickers black stickers.. (professionally of course)

Other thing i want to ask you guys is... do you think Dove Black (matte) or
glossy black would be better for the contrast? I know for a fact that too
much gloss looks weird and too much matte makes your car looks dirty
My alabaster silver is glossy.. hehe

Anyway thanks in advance guys for your opinions!

I'd say. If you want to try that, go for a vinyl wrap. And like you said gloss to make it look shiny. After a while if you don't like it you can peel it off

There is a nice thread about this in the for sale section, PM Don for pricing... or you could always search for a place that sells vinyl in your area... where i live, there is a company that sells A9 (pretty much the best stuff) for really cheap...

Btw, thinner is better!

I would do a flat (non shiny) black if you choose to do it. that will make the silver pop more IMO instead of competing with it.

just search for vinyl for sale... what i mean by thinner is better is that with A6 vs A9 (A6 is rated 6 years outside, and A9 for 9... obviously) i thnik that with thinner vinyl, since it blends better with the surface, it's harder too lift off...
