For 73-80 do you prefer two-tone or solid paint? I'm going to be having the K5 painted and I wonder if I should go with the two-tone paint along the sides.

3/4 ton status
I’ve always been partial to solid colors, unless it’s tan on dark brown. 
Blue/white on round eyes looks really good
For me it depends on the main color. Sometimes I like a solid color, other times a 2 tone looks good. Currently I own 4 squares and none of them are 2 tone lol. The 5th one at my house is also a solid color.
Look the old woman says...depends
The K5 had the adhesive trim molding on the side which trapped water and caused rust issues in the rear quarters. If I went two tone I would need to drill the body for the holes to mount the chrome trim pieces. It may just be a cleaner look and less likely to rust going with a solid color and no trim.
Tough question! Depends on paint quality and color appeal. My K5 is solid and I am well satisfied. But the two tone gives it a vintage appeal (i.e. 1970's) which may serve to ad some addition al value.
I prefer the two tone.
Two tone for sure on a first gen square.
