totally subjective, but for me, I couldn't fathom the thought

So here's a pic with the Artic Silver top. Lot of split opinions on it. Ironically, the guys at the paint shop liked it. My wife, however, hated it, as did a number of friends. As a result, it's being repainted Midnight Blue Metallic.

I think you are doing the right thing. I thought it would be a little better than that .

I think you could get away with the contrast color top if it wasn't so high contrast. maybe medium blue with dark blue. silver with dark blue might as well be black and white.

Default Lapis Blue with a Black top?

I have a Lapis Blue cab, and have an opportunity to pick up a Black hardtop, cheap. Top in excellent condition, so doesnt NEED a paint job. Since the soft top is black, do y'all think the hardtop contrast will be too much?

Im undecided, but if I thought I would definitely have to paint it for $500+ I wouldnt get it in the first place.

Opinions? Dont have pics yet, since I havent bought the top.

Painting it is the only way to go!
