    In the process of prepping body for paint. wanting some suggestions from you guys. I'm not putting brown back on:p and I'm going with a Highland Green. My dad and I want to offset the color though. Were thinking white (rear brake light panel) in the back.

    heres a picture i found on this site showing what I'm going for minus the racing stripes.

    I'm wanting suggestions though. Should I white out the lower half of the car, or white out the roof to mimic a vinyl roof.

    I think the roof being white would be nice (i wish i had a photo editor to play around with) but wanted feedback from you guys.

    if i go with the roof, where could i get the chrome trim from drip rail to back windshield to offset?

    I like the four doors with a vinyl top. That being said, a white painted top would look good with the rest of the car green. I like the white tail panel with that, too.

    You could always use a contrasting color pinstripe to seperate the two colors....

    my dad likes white lower half but i think it will show dirt quicker.

    i didn't think about striping out the top for dividing (y)

    I have white on the bottom of my car, and I find it gets dirty easily. If you drive it everyday, you'll be cleaning it.

    If you're gonna do white, just don't do pure "rental fleet white". I'd tint it a little. I like the idea of white tail panel and roof, and pin striping the roof lines in for a nice clean look. In the end though, its yours, do what makes you happy.
