I finished the hardtop and ended up painting it grey.
Which do you prefer? Original white, or grey. The top pic was taken this last winter with the original color. The others were today with new color.

Ok, shoot me, I think it should be black.
 
Definitely the gray over the white. Looks right to me.
:cheers:
 
I prefer the white but the grey is more unique
 
Looks great Bryan, Hope you're on high ground up there. I'm within 20 miles of the Missouri but in the hills.

Kinda with Jack on matching the car.

But, to throw another wrench in the works, how 'bout red, to match the interior?

And ditto on the high ground!

:cheers:

I always thought they should be white as original... but as Jack mentions, body color does look nice as well, I was on the fence but the body color hardtop on my Bridget does look nice...

Should be white or black. But no worries. I will take the gray one off your hands. :devilgrin:

I love it. Very classy and unique in my book.
 
I like the idea of grey or white to contrast the body color AND be "cooler" on sunny day (if you leave the top on during sunny days). On the other hand on the Spitfire, we painted the top black to retain the look of a separate piece... similar to the black convertible top. Of course, black shows ever bodywork flaw while white just gets dirty looking quickly.
 
Tony always did body color and we all know he had a lot of bodies.
