White Roof on a...
Dark Emerald Pearl 80? Would like to know what you guys think. I tried searching here and Google for examples, but couldn't find any 
If you think it'll look good, would you go with a Bright White or maybe a Pearl White.
Thanks, fellas!

PM me a picture of your rig, and I will show you how it will look.

I think Pearl white is better.
Pearls, highly symbolic, impact us in life-changing ways.
Pearls also symbolize purity and spiritual transformation.
somehow...it gives luck to your life.

Thank you for the replies!
Nancy08 - I'm leaning towards Pearl White as well if I do it. Love the luck aspect, too.
spdwaver1 - I'll shoot you a pic as soon as I can!

Beautiful paint-scheme, hat! Mind if I ask how much that cost?
Thanks again, spdwaver1! I do like the 2nd pic much better. More of that 50 look. Gonna have to rethink this, as I'm sure the cost would be considerably more.
Do you think it's too much of a contrast? Hate to ask too much of you, but could you perhaps adjust it to a pearl white?

The appearance is entirely up to you, of course; but I do think that it is too much contrast.
Nevertheless, here is my best attempt at pearl white:

Yeah...I'm not sure the emerald pearl could pull it off like this:
Any other thoughts or opinions?

Thoughts / opinions?
I have always been partial to this particular color:

I've always thought this looked nice.

Okay...I found someone that's willing to do the pearl white above the first line for $650.
Is that a good deal? I forgot what brand paint he'll be using, but it's a good quality paint, supposedly. Would this forum be appropriate for a poll? Not yet sure if I want to go pearl white or super white.

I'm very tempted to do that, as well. Looks sweet, but I don't want to copy hatman's originality. What other (light) color do you think would work?

Using Hatman's style, I went with (almost) black on top and bottom; I then went with a less-contrasting color:

That way, it would always appear to be snowing.

could someone please invert the 55 color scheme in that pic - so the hood and upper body side is dark, and the roof and lower body side is white?
Im thinking glossy pearl white with flat black
