White roof on FB station sedan

Just contemplating doing a white roof on an FB station sedan??????? Has anyone done or seen this done before?

Problem is, what to do at the rear upper tailgate. Obviously EKs have the chrome trim so you have a good stopping point between the rear roof and upper tailgate. How do you finsh the white on an FB wagon??????

Not sure i am going to paint the roof white, so all opinions are greatly appreciated. I know it is giving an FB an EK look and that is also a concern?????

Cheers Paul

my ek has a chrome strip around the roof but it stop as the back rounds off...

i thought that FB's had a chrome bit all the way around... & i'm also having similar thoughts gloss white roof & satin/ matte body... so hope fully we'll both get some anwsers

Yours is a standard model Lynchpin , It didnt come with stainless trim .
If you want to finish it correctly as EKs were you might have to advertise for some trim and drill the holes in the body for it or use a glue which is dificult .
Your giving it a kustom look so Id suggest doing it in a kustom way like masking it off where you are happy with it and running a pinstripe along the edge ,not the cheapo plastic stick on crap though - the real painted on ones hehe
