60 Ford Wagon White or Black Roof Poll

[Dave Wood]

Most of you Guys know that almost all my 50s/60s Ford builds have a White roof, But since this build is a wagon (and the 60 Ford Wagon had that option) I'm going to paint the Body with that Testors One Coat Black Lacquer with Red and White Interior so for those interested White Roof or Black Roof ?

I'd paint it all one colour if I was building it myself as that's what I like. If you're building it fairly stock, I'd say the white roof option would look great.

white roofs keep ya cooler in the summer

Red bottom, black top

From the beltline up

For that combo, I say a black flake would make it really " POP" Now if you still want a black main body, then I would say a silver or a red flake top would really set off the black...

My vote is for Pearl White with the lower half of the body painted HOK Pango Peach. I was going to use that color combo on a 1.1 '56 Pontiac Star Chief Catalina I owned back in the day.

If your gonna go with the white and red interior. ..... I would go with the white top and pillars and the rest Red with BMF on the trimming....my opinion

[RodBurNeR]

nice ideas up there!

mine might end up with red on the top, either the whole thing or stripes like the Ramchargers had.

If all your roofs are white....then do it in black.....I know youve got doubts.....but down deep your soul screams BLACK

if you want a neat touch use HOK black diamond for your base color over black lacquer then clear.....
