Simple really, I’m in the process of painting the project mini a nice shade of green, but am undecided on what colour I should paint the roof in… either the same as the rest of the car (green) or a cream ish white, although I’m not really building a cooper replica, or some other colour I haven’t thought of…

I was just about to post and say "green or white", but you've got that covered! Black might work, silver as an outside bet. THe right shade of brown could work, depnding on the green, but I can't think of anything else that might 'work'.

What shade of green where you looking at painting?

A darkish green (willow green) with black roof would look brilliant.

Well this is the green I’m currently painting it in, excuse the boot and under valance areas, as I haven’t finished prepping those bits, hence why they aren’t painted yet.

At the mo the roof is sill the original metallic gunmetal grey, but I’m not entirely sure that will work, although it will still need re-painting as it’s all scratched scuffed and dented from me storing stuff on the roof.

I think black would look nice with that.

Love the colour by the way, do you know the name of it?

[RacingGreen]

how about gold, with a gold flake in it?

Suppose I might as well come clean, it's an enamel based (similar to rustoleum) metal paint in Richmond green.

And it's going on quite well with the roller, well I original sprayed it on but after about a week the paint just went flat and lost all of it's shine, which hasn't happened so far with the roller.
