Default Vinyl Top/Paint Combos

Hi, I have a 1965 coupe with a black vinyl top, the top is in FANTASTIC condition, like new...unfortunately the paint is not, it is not horrible however it has enough chips and is old enough that I am going to have it repainted. It is currently Wimbolden white with the black top and black interior. I really love red and yellow 65 coupes but I dont know how they will look with the vinyl top, nothing against the white, I like it too, but it's time for a change. Would any of you with any early year coupe mustang with vinyl top post pictures please? I would just like to get some ideas, most of the shows I go to dont have many cars with vinyl tops. I really hope I'm spelling vinyl right, I've used it for about 8 sentences and I'm not sure! [8D]
Anyway, please post pics of your car with vinyl top! Thanks in advance!

When you paint the car red(if), Dye the vinyl top white.[8D]

I've heard that they arent very hard to take off, I've also heard the myth that they were used to cover imperfections on the roof, I really dont believe that one but it could be true, I really dont want to find out. I feel that having the black Vinyl top is kind of limiting my choices on a color, although that black on black on black looks MEAN! I like it alot, but here in Texas I imagine that would get really hot as a daily driver [:@]
