Default sc with black top

somewhere I saw an SC-430 in silver with the top painted black. Does anyone know where that was? It looked prety good....or at least I remember it that way and want to look at it again before I buy paint....LOL

In the incredibly expensive world of Sydney, Australia, the wrap cost $US350. We shopped around to get a high-quality installation rather than a low cost as there are quite a few wraparound parts on the folding roof.

Thanks. Probably get it done a bit cheaper here but I am not so much interested in the quality as whether they can do it in a flat
leather color to match the interior. It wont be on long, just want to see it in person before I commit to paint.

Natroth, your rims are the inspiration for putting them on my SC430.

Jimisbell, are you wanting to make your top flat leather color or black on the exterior? I know there are some leather texture vinyl wraps, but I get the impression they are for interior pieces.

Steve over in England has a wrapped roof also, his is in silver. Here are 3 examples of roof wrapping (including Steve's):

Probably not. But we are talking about wrap at the moment so I imagine that it exists. Some sort of minor 3D surface with some texture to it. I would not want a paint like that because it would look real cheap.
