OK! break it up!
Contrast,that is
Hey all
I have an extra set of T-Tops that are in good shape.
I mounted them today and had an idea...
Has anybody painted their Tops a different color to break up the color scheme of their C3?
Obviously the red and white don't do much...
So, I am looking for suggestions for a nice contrast for my Classic White paint. I was thinking a Charcoal look at first ..I dont know...
There are alot of new paint formula's on the market (Traveling/Anodized ect
The tops are in very good shape and I would REALLY like to find some type of paint that would (If possible ) Make them look like the smoked glass tops.
I realize this is asking alot but any suggestions are certainly welcome.
Any creative C3 guys willing to post an idea?
Thanks all
Bob

Actually, it doesnt matter... Side Exhaust comes before any $$$ spent on glass tops

you could try black.... it would be hard to pull off a color change with white though..... how would you feel about doing them in a rag top material?...this way if you dont like it, you can just rip it off......

Ask to have your pictures photoshopped to continue the color into the area behind the t-tops and include the parts going into the rear deck?
Or have someone airbrush your interior onto the tops
Better yet just get the sidepipes

Ill play around with it.......
I dont want to touch any of the existing paint as it is less than 2 years old
Side Exhaust is definitely the next in line.
Than when the wood stove fires up I am going to build a SBC for a replacement and hopefully have it installed by April............THANKS ALL!
