  1. ok so I painted my 54's roof metal flake Green ( pic below) . I now feel im stuck with the option of satin black as a bottom. I'm open to other colors ..just want to see what you guys think for options . Im open to crazy combos as long as it works with the metal flake roof ! . Thanks again to all that read and help the cause . thanks JAKe .

    What about another shade of green? I have seen a mint metallic green body with a dark flaked top on a 54 and it looked pretty good.

    ...copper or an ivory color would look good with your roof. Shiny paint if you go light. And I think you need contrast between top and bottom on a two tone car - just my opinion.

    I like the ivory color idea. Maybe even cl***ic Ford Wimbledon white.

    not sure but you can print it out and take it to your local auto paint shop and they can probably help you out.. i do that all the time! They are pretty good with finding the same color...

    I like the yellow idea, a good bright canary yellow, a real primary colour. Satin black is fast leaving me cold I'm afraid......
