To paint or not to paint?!?

HEY guys whats going on? I haven't posted in awhile but now that the nice weather is around the corner i'm throwing around a few ideas.


I have a 2011 blue slate g37x sedan and i'm toying with the idea of painting my roof black or a deep black metallic . What do you guys think ?


I work at a body shop so the price and materials don't matter .


then maybe a front bumper lower spoiler and paint to match trunk spoiler

No. Vinyl it so when you change your mind you can just take it off or change its color.

I'm not a fan of the black roof unless it's a full glass roof that's tinted but it's your car.

@11BlueSlate where is your shop in MA? I need a Sedan sport bumper and lip painted QAA - Moonlight white. Or any place you recommend to get it done?

I'd personally do Vinyl to be able to reverse the black roof. If you have a picture of your car we could photoshop it to see how it looks.
