Should I paint my roof black?

[Cobrakit]

I wrapped my DH roof to match hood decal. I thought gloss blank would be a little much on white car.

I can't understand this Nite Horse thing of a black roof. Black badges, mirror covers, ok. But a roof ?

Black roofs have been a “thing” for decades. Some folks like them, some don’t. Same as any other mod.

Your car looks awesome. I think I would have liked a white one if not the Grabber blue. I would do the roof black. And like others say if you dont like the wrap you could remove it, but you could always just have it painted back to white also.

I like the black roof look, but it's all personal preference. +1 for the wrap over the paint, which is what I just did (Dark Matter Gray car, also here in CA) for $500. Shop did it with gloss black PPF since that will last longer in the sun compared to a standard vinyl wrap. I'd shop around for a better price than what you got if you decide to go that route.

personal opinion I think the black roof and black or tarnished grey wheels look good together.

Everything costs more in Cali, if price is not an issue I would wrap it. If it wasn’t ordered with the black roof, then I personally would not paint it. But it is your Mustang, make it your own and how you want it. That’s what’s most important. Not what others think! LMAO!

You're kids kids will want to paint their foods white no matter the color of the car, badges and rims will be left unfinished so the oxidize. When you're in a wheelchair in the old folks home they'll be playing disco and saying this is the music from your days. Your face will be turning red because you can no longer yell out "Stop!!!" That's if they don't blow us all up by then.

Why wouldn’t you paint it? Considering how thin the paint seems on these S650s, I feel like a good paint shop could improve it.

i had my roof wrapped gloss black about a year and a half ago and its been doing great so far. the car sits outside for half the day and inside for the other half for 5 of the 7 days of the week. i have had no issues apart from self-inflicted ones like not removing some stuff quick enough and now there's a permanent spot. i will eventually get it painted, but i will also be doing a full vehicle PPF at that time to prevent paint damage. really, i say get it wrapped and let it stay for a while. if you still like it after a year or two, make the jump to a painted black roof

They have matte and gloss black PPF wrap so if you wrap it you can PPF it at the same time - I did it on a white car I think it looks good ...
