Paint it?
Silver car, white top, what to do
The finish on the top is pretty nice, and it is almost a crime to respray it. The car has already been resprayed once. It's darker than silverstone and has metal flakes, kind of like a metallic gray. The side sills are painted black.
If I spray the top gray to match my car, it's a custom paint color so the top would be worthless if I need to flip it. If I spray the top black, it will look good on pretty much any car as a contrasting color, but will not match mine. Or I could paint everything at once if I can sell enough blood to pay for it.
Or, do you think it looks OK as it is.

Good call. I don't think I can edit the poll, so I'd like to add in option 5: Paint hard top and a pillars black, as well as repaint lower side sills black

I've got a Silver with a Black hard top and it looks good.
Gawd I wouldn't like to have a white hard top on it, I'd go around topless before I'd do that !
Perhaps your concentrating on how good the 'finish' is on the hard top to much and not seeing the car completly with it on ?
Paint it B L A C K !!

Man I was about 30 minutes from buying that top. It was only a 80 mile drive for me to get and it was a decent price for a good top with defroster and all. I too have a silver miata(NB). I've seen one same as mine with a white top and I would have left it just for the sake of cost. Atleast for a while. I'm with everyone else on going black. You'll end up having a car that fits in with the drifting crowd with that paint scheme but hey im 20 and think it's pretty badass looking. (Though not into drifting.)
