As per title I'm spraying my mini in OEW at the weekend. But what colour should I do the roof?

Most people tend to go for a black roof, and it looks excellent - but I want to be different. 

 

I've seen red which look ok, but don't know how it will look with oew.

Can you suggest any other colours? Think I have a tin of Ford Zodiac blue lying around among other things.

How about gunmetal grey? We did that on project Erm and looks good.

That deep blue above would look gooooood. Grey or black are equally nice. Can't say I like the red!
