well, im probably not the best person to answer this (for obvious reasons :wink: ) but my advice is to go on goooogle and search for T25's, then look through the images for some ideas and discuss them with the dude doing the spraying.

personally, i dont think theres a right or a wrong way to split the colours, its all a matter of personal taste, if 'you' think it looks good, thats all that matters :lol:

the colours you propose sound most excellent, so lots of pictures when its all done plz :D
