Nothing quite says commitment like busting out the spray gun...

Gloss Black with blue metallic. Most people don't even notice the third color on the roof! Did this back in... 2007?

It ran about $200 for just the roof alone.

I had a big dent and rust on my roof so during the repair I just had them paint it gloss black along with the roof trim that runs from the front to the rear.

i PM'd you.

Ive had my vinyl roof for close to four years. Still looks like day 1 and gets compliments everywhere i go. I dont have recent pix but on Page 1 someone linked my car. Take a look, you wont be dissapointed. It cost me $120 at epic images in santa rosa, CA. At that time they were the only shop offering this, im sure now there are tons more around.
