Thread: Should I Paint my roof black ????

    Should I Paint my roof black ????





    Do you guys like it? It wouldnt be true black ... it would be more of a realllly dark grey, just like the newer model mercedes roofs. I have also Painted my grill black and got a flat hood emblem since the last pics. Let me know if you think the black roof would be too much. Thanks!

    if you paint the roof, paint the pillars also.

    I think a black roof would look good. First, I'd tape black plastic or some black material on the roof and live with it for a while. Easier to remove taped on material then repaint again in white if you decide you don't like it.

    also check out Auto Network in San Gabriel, give Jon a Call 1.626.272.3611. He has painted all my parts for a very good price and has an awesome turn around time. He painted my bumper in less then 24hrs.

    lol, thats what I thought.

    Anyways, I dont think you should do it, it looks tacky and is a waste of money imo.

    when selling a used car..the price would severly dropped if the car has a painted roof (or at least thats how things are over here) so personaly i would not do that (but then again i have a black car ) but i do have to admit that it looks good.....and it looked incredible when a member here with a silver C43 did it...

    i'm honestly not feelin' it. those rims look great on that car, but i don't feel the roof has clean enough lines to pull off the black roof on a white car because there is just SO much contrast.

    love your ride tho! selling any time soon?

    You should think about going the extra step and doing a carbon fiber overlay. It'd be expensive, but it'd look awesome.
