mine is actually vinyl.
I wouldve prefered paint, but i like the fact that i can always go back to white roof.
What about wrap it in vinyl THEN get it painted ?

vinyl will bubble with the heat eventually...
IMO paint it.. and if you sell the car... paint it back to the stock OEM color..

I'd say go for it! Don't have any second thoughts and paint it!
You're car is going to look awesome after, not that it doesn't look great now.

Paint it. Vinyl will have more problems than painting it.
