Metalflake top???yay or nay?

It looks good as is. I have a 52 and been debating the paint scheme. I am think a flaked roof with subtle lace panels.

 

Definately, i would go red or silver.... Would look GREAT

 

'flake it dark and low key, bright and boat 'flake are for radical/show rod's.

 

Yup, flake it for sure.

 

I think you could go with almost any color flake, but I could definitely see it with a dark red or a very dark silver, but it's up to you. I love flake, so I'm probably biased.

 

Decisions, decisions..... Red looks cool!... Green looks pretty neat too.

 

Yep I totally agree... You read my mind!

 

I think the silver tone would look nice if you plan on keeping the chrome steel wheels, however the red if mapped out correctly will look really good if you accent it with different wheel covers.....57 Caddys w/ red medallion center??

 

Any more colors you want to see?

 

I can't tell you how many cars I've added mods to only to look at photos a couple years later and wonder, "Why?". You wanna flake the roof of that amazing car, huh? I think it's perfectly amazing the way it is. It's your car, bro but since you asked for opinions, I say
don't guild the Lily.

 

This 55 built by Austin speed shop is what really got my hamster wheel turnin! Love the black and gold!

 

Check out my Caddy in my profile. Do it.

 

"Black, Black, Johnny Cash Black."

 

Red burgandy candy over flake, with gold accents with white pinstrip to match the whitewalls.

 

Your car looks "Too classy for flake". What in the world does that even mean?

 

Anyone have pics of a flaked or laced 49-51 Merc roof????
