Default painting question?

Hey guys, first of I know its not a Z so help me out since I know that not just s2000 guys will see this car. can you give me Comments & critism on how I should paint the top. I want to simulate the look of a window so that the color is broken up. if the top is just painted one color, the top looks really weird, so please vote if you view. thanks

Style 1: rounded ending edge:

close up:



Style 2: folow the body line on the bottom edge

Close up:

BTW. all those that knows Wendy, She says HI!

the top style #1 actually follows the body styling lines best; the 2nd option is overkilling symmetry between the two lines. The rounded edge option gives an elegant relationship between the frontmost doorhandle cut out angle and the angle of your style one rounded edge; this is a common method of approach when I (and all designers) have to make when deciding angle and proportion relationships of surfaces.

i sorta like #2. IMO having a random black triangle on the roof, TO ME, wont look like a window. perhaps from far, but when you get close up id kinda wonder what the point of a random black triangle is.
