painted roof?

[Teck]

Has anyone of you guys painted the roof? If so please post some pics. I'm not sure if I should but I think I'm gonna paint it on monday with the same color like I did my wheels!
What do you guys think about that?

[Abuimad]

from were i come from u NEVER paint the roof....somehting about the after sale value getting messed up because ppl would think the car was in a major accident..this said...if i was to paint a roof i would paint it cf black...along with the hood...and trunk, but i wont do it on a car such as a benz or beamer..i would do it on a s2000 or a skyline....
my friend has a 98SL600, he has a glass hood..panoramic roof...and a glass trunk..car is a beuty, ill post pic when i get them..but also u cant do that on a 202..so i suggest keep it stock
:D

he does not have a glass hood and trunk, thats just not true.
I'll need to see a pic looking through it to believe it.

I wouldn't paint it. Your car looks good.

I ordered both my Maybach and my Veyron and really regretted it.

That's why I drive my 202.

Check it on photoshop for a rough idea. Might be interesting.

people do it. i think a member on benzsport did it on a 210

[Teck]

Saw some 210's and some 203's which painted the roof and I was just amazed.

I am not good in pshop, or should I say that I have no clue about pshop lol

just leave the hood stock it looks more classy this way....the glass hood and glass trunk was on a 98 SL not a c

[solodough]

just don't paint it yourself. have it painted by a professional (plug: seatown autoworks) and there's nothing wrong with custom paint anyways ;)

[Teck]

IF I do it, it will be done by our professional paint shop in the house and I won't paint the hood as well I don't wan't a ricer! For me it costs 600 bucks not that much and he's a real genius. He's the guy who painted my rims!

Where would you stop painting on the pillars? At the runner for the roof rack?
