Ok, today I took the big jump for the black roof. A short while back I asked what everyone thought about the black roof in cabon, black matte or gloss. The response was by far gloss black. So I did it today... I took a few pics of my progress. I'm not done, as I still need to paint the rails. Will do this next week along with color sanding and buffing the roof and a lite polish on the car. I decided to leave the antenna white. I figured I can always go back and spray it if needed. I removed the rails from the car and took progressive pics. Should the antenne be black or white?

I just can't get a good feel for the black or white antenna. The one pic shows the tape around it which is black, but I think the white is looking ok. I will be able to tell more tomorrow when I walk up to the car from outside.

Looks great, but I would paint the rails too

If you can shoot a further out pic for the antenna. It's hard to give judgment on how it looks with out seeing more of the whole car.


Great job

Nice job! I like glossy myself. So bored with the whole matte trend.
