Should I paint wing AND roof same color?

[SIZE=3][FONT=Book Antiqua]Hi all, got a quick question. I am getting my roof and the piece on the boot just above the license plate painted the same color. The painter just called and asked if I want to get the wing painted the same color so I would have the wing and roof the same color. Originally I was going to leave it PW for a nice contrast but now he has me thinking. What are your thoughts? [/FONT][/SIZE]

Wow....what happened to the NAM love?!?! 87 views and no responses? Well, no matter - I decided to have the wing painted the same color as the roof. I am excited to say that it is ready and I'm going to pick it up tonight. Will post pics here tomorrow.

Hard to give an opinion when you haven't said what color you were having the roof painted.

I think it would be cool to paint the roof and wing red to go with the red interior

Hi My2ndmini....you guessed it right! That's the exact color I had it painted...well I tried to match it as close as possible. Just posted a new thread (entitled "re-introducing she-ra") and submitted pics to my gallery.
