Default Considering painting my roof black...

Any advice or DIY on this subject.???

I had my roof photo shopped with my CF hood and it looks really sick, so now I want to do the real thing. I was looking around and came across many different ways to do it. I don't think i want to do vinyl wrap it...
Let me know what is the best way to go

Might be a pretty general suggestion, but why not take it to a body shop and have them paint it? I'm not too familiar with different ways of making the roof black but to me, that would be the smartest thing to do. Personally, I wouldn't try something like that myself. I'd probably take it to to experienced people and get it right the first time. Just my two cents.

I'm going to have this done this summer - I'll let you know what I find for paint shops around here (there's a bunch). If you check around your area and come across a good deal with a quality shop, let me know. I was quoted $300 by Carriage Auto near my house, and I'm going to talk to a few other places as well. I'll let you know what I find. I'm only an hour from you and if there's a place with a good combo of price and quality it might be worth you driving down.

well i have a guy who does great job from his house. He turned one of his garages into paint shop and been painting salvage cars for people for over 5 years now. My dad had his whole car sprayed few years back for 800 bucks and it still looks good so yeah spraying just roof shouldn't cost much i would think. Ill find out
