Question Black Roof on Blue Slate Yes/No?

Hey guys I'm thinking about painting my roof black on blue slate. I think it would look well with the theme of my car, but I've never seen anyone paint their roof black except on white cars so I'm a little skeptical. I'm trying to go for a clean look. What do you guys think?

Also how do you remove the antenna? Because I need to get that painted as well. Is there is DIY on it? Is it just 4 snaps do we have to remove the headliner?

Here's pic of my car:



Thanks in advance!

try a photoshop first
and maybe get a roof overlay , might be cheaper than painting, and if u like it then make it permanent, way to step it up for all BS's!

you remove the roofliner and there is a bolt you unscrew. I learned the hard way i thought it would come off and i messed it up.

I think Im gonna be on the other side. I love the rims on that color car. You have a nice combo, as a matter of fact I think the tinted tails are too dark and takes the luxury of the car away, I would leave them stock, whatever you decide good luck

I actually like your drop/wheels setup the way they are, blacking out the roof might throw it off over the line, my vote is no (but it's your car remember lol)

Well I can't really tell from the pix since it's edited on PS somehow to remove the shine from them.

OP can you post un-edited pix so we can see if the colors flow together in reality?

i think a little restraint would be best... your car is already nice looking.

I agree with this guy on the tails. WAY TOO DARK. Lighter shade black or just leave em stock red. Looking good though.
