    My friend Danko had his painted. It looks great. I think personally I would paint the roof as its going to be a difficult part to wrap as their as no grooves to tuck the vinyl into.

    I saw a wrapped roof at waterfest 17. White car, matte black roof. nice look, but I would go for a shiny or polished black paint job IMO.

    You would be foolish to have it painted, just get it wrapped if you want it done.

    Agreed^. Just wrap it. That way if you get tired of it, or decide to trade/sell it, it can easily be brought back to original.
