Default Mustard plus vinyl = rust.

Black on the top half and the original "English racing mustard" :-P on the bottom half.

What do you gents think? Good idea or terrible?
I'll take the black right down the A pillar to where the panel goes horizontal, unlike the vinyl top ones which stop an inch down the A pillar.

The second part of this idea is to use a plastidip spray which has the vinyl texture and can be applied with out damaging the original paint for those of you that wouldn't dare deviate from the standard jag colours :-P
When I bought my '77 XJ6C it was in that horrible mustard, and had a "lumpy" white vinyl top on it. "Lumpy" because it was full of rust spots underneath. Apparently, Jaguar did a lousy job of sealing the steel. SO.....I removed the vinyl top, had the car taken down to steel, and repainted in a beautiful '77 Cadillac yellow. It came out amazing...and no more roof rust issues.
