Like all mods when you return the car they want it back to normal. I painted my roof a few month ago and it'll cost me about $250 to bring it back to stock in three years so it's the same as lowering the
car and bringing back to stock later.... Check out my profile for images. |

fail. Lol dont paint it... they would probably charge you... no matter how good it looks lol, the likelyhood of somebody wanting a used car with a painted roof is very very slim.... vinyl overlay maybe?

Do a vinyl, save yourself some aggravation, because unless the paint job is perfect you're going to have issues when you return the car. Vinyl roofs look just like they're painted if done right. What it is is just a large piece of custom cut black vinyl that is stuck onto your roof, its just like a big sticker.
