    I am thinking of painting scallops on my 1960 Merc ragtop. It has cragar ss wheels with narrow white walls. It will be painted an aqua blue from Summitt. I was thinking of a color for the scallops that matches the color of the convertible top. One advertizer has a dark blue top for the Merc . So i was considering painting the scallops in the same color. Nothing overboard on the scallops, fairly conservative.

    Post it up on the photoshop thread & get the pros to get you a sneak peek at what it can look like.

    Reminder......Don't buy anything from Advertisers that do not stock it for immediate shipment/delivery.

    You may have to settle for used ( if there is one to be found) on your front windshield.
    I've checked 6 places that advertise and all out of stock - back ordered with no replenishment dates.

    Cheapest price isn't cheap if you never get it.
    If someone has a NOS one - be prepared to pay up.

    Still researching as I said I would.

    That sounds like too much matching to me. Without seeing the colors, I would suggest white (plain, pearl, or metallic) scallops with pinstripe outlines that match the roof.
