Sound good, but IMO i would scrap the vinyl top and paint the roof. Or go with a blk top.But that white should make the blue pop! :cool:

i wanted a black vinyl top to but the old lady likes the white vinyl top so I figured id try it! and afterwards i saw a dart black with the white top and it looks sharp I really liked it so I said thats what I want!! I think it really goes nice with the white interior!!

I'm sure you're color combo will look cool, obviously I like black.  I've always liked B5 blue with a white interior and/or white top.  Good luck.

If you order the powder type they sell them in small 4-5 oz jars and that is enough to do ten cars as you need very little to get the effect.If you want the clear with it mixed in you will need at least a gallon to get 2-3 coats on your swinger.
