Removed Vinyl to replace, but now I don’t know…

Mother nature had taken her toll on my 72 Imperial's vinyl top so I pulled it all off to replace it.
My thought has been that if I paint the roof before the next top goes on, it should prevent rust and add longevity to the new vinyl, as well as look decent while I find a replacement top or reputable shop to replicate it. Well now that I have it painted, I'm really liking it as is!
I thought I'd post a few pics and get some feedback so let me have it!
Thanks,
Ron
