Black roof
Decided to paint my roof black, been tossing around with the idea for a while, came out nice in my opinion. Any one else had there's painted or is it more common to get it wrapped?

I usually always wrap mine unless there is a big amount of paint fade/clear fade or rust pin holes..

wrapping is cheaper a giant roll of dennison will set you back about 30 dollars after shipping paint will be around 100 can do the wrap at home on a hot day.

Fortunately I'm a panelbeater so paint for me is extremely cheap, using PPG does come at a cost but since I'm doing all the work it's much more cost effective luckily.

Looks good. I always thought that my white Yaris would look good with just the roof black like what you did.

Cool! Probably made it faster too. At least it looks faster. ;)
It reminds of the SE/Autobahn trim levels of the GTI with their black panoramic sunroof. |

I love the panda black/white combo. My bro-in-law had a white BMW 3 series a few years back. He threw a CF hood and trunk on it and wrapped the roof. Looked great. Have you considered also doing the hood and hatch?

Id also stop there. the only reason I havent followed suit is because the white roof keeps internal temps down here..

I'll leave it as it is now. Turned out as expected. The temperature in the car on a hot day hasn't risen too much so far, fingers crossed it doesn't become a fireball.

How much wrap did you need to do the roof? I have a 2007 that I want to wrap the roof and maybe the pillars since the clear coat is peeling badly.
