Im thinking of re-instating a white roof, the car was originally a black and white mainstream cooper but its been painted all black.

 

I believe the factory colour was white diamond, but i'm thinking old english white for a more retro look.

 

Does OEW work with black?  

 

If you have a black car / white roof, which white did you go for (pics please)?

I've done mine in Diamond white, solid black with diamond white roof, but yes OEW will look good with black, espescially on a retro theme car (with features like 10 inch wheels, early lamps etc..)
