Black roof anyone?
Anyone paint or wrap their roof black on a silver (or white, or tan) car? Im thinking about doing it next week and would love some comps.

I'm going to have mine vinyl wrapped black to see if I like it, if so, then like Dyno' I'll have mine painted as well. What color is your car?

I also had the rails painted, I have seen some people leave them silver and it doesn't look right.

Mine was vinyled awhile back, but I hated it. So now I'm planning on painting it or vinyl wrapping glossy CF.

The fact that to the touch it feels like I put ceram wrap on my roof. And it just doesnt have the same effect that paint does. If I wrap my roof in gloss CF I'm planning o clear coating it after its applied.

I always wondered how it felt to the touch. I figured I wouldn't get tired of it being black so decided to go with paint. Definitely don't regret it.

Props for using the search function I guess, Toga.

Elijah, Dyno's last activity on the forum was 4Feb12. So doubt he'll see your compliment.
