Default Can someone help with photoshop? Want to get my roof wrapped

lately I've been wanting to get my roof wrapped in gloss black but not sure how my car will look with my specific minor mods (with summer and winter wheel set up) done. Can someone help with photoshopping my white roof into black please? Opinions or suggestions are also welcome.

Here is a quick and dirty one... I just had a few spare moments.
If you want the PS file with the Bezier path selection PM me. If I can attach it here I will - that way you can try other colors as well.
Tried to make one matt, the other gloss...

That looks awesome! Thanks so much!! It looks a bit like a satin black finish but I am sure a gloss black roof will look pretty good. Oh ok I see the difference now. What do you guys think?

Go for gloss black it will look good especially with white exterior.

I have carbon fiber which has a satin like sheen to it and I love it. That said gloss black would look just as sick. I went with carbon fiber to match the other accents I have in cf (door handles, mirror bases, spoiler, front bumper insert)

It’s hard to see, but I have my roof wrap in gloss black.

Thank you guys for the input and pictures which is greatly appreciated. Tommastie, that gloss black roof looks sick! Car looks nice also. Did you wrap the white strips as well? Did they use one piece or are the strips wrapped individually? I don't like how the roof looks when the strips are not wrapped because it looks a bit awkward.

The roof moldings need to be wrapped individually.

If you don't mind me asking how much did that cost you? You can pm me if you don't feel comfortable posting price. Is your shark fin also wrapped?

Wow that's a great deal. I am located in Maryland and I am getting quoted between $250-350 . Anyone in the DMV area know a place that charges a decent price and does good work?

I paid $300 for the roof including shark fin, not including rain rails/moldings

I think $180 for that wrap is an absurdly good deal and wouldn't count on that prove as a baseline. Minimum $200 and $250 is probably more reasonable for most wrappers to do a roof.

I would definately do it, I wish I had a white GS, my 5 series was white and I had a black roof. Such a clean color.
