In addition to umm neon green, I'd favor a faintly
off-white. Light and airy is a refreshing change. The car's
got a lot of glass, and a lot of chrome (relatively speaking),
all make for 'light' as a direction.

But hey, a roof paint job shouldn't be too invasive, you can
close up the rest of the car and drive it a while and see how it
works out! With wheels/wheel covers, trim if you're doing that,
etc, it will get less mono-chrome-y.

I've got white powder coated wheels on my Hornet. Still
love them. I only wish I'd gone for wider smoothies from
Wheelvintiques instead of stock. Chrome trim rings and moons
are pretty close period-wise, and are very practical and cheap.
