Painting Roof Black
So I'm planning to paint my roof black and was quoted 200 while my car is already in the body shop getting work done. I was just wondering what the going rate is for a decent body shop to paint the roof is so I can gauge if 200 dollars is worth it or not to paint it black. Thanks!

I'm getting my front end fixed + getting my lips painted. Maybe thats why hes cutting me some slack on the paint. I'm not going in to just get the roof done.
Oh what are your thoughts on painting the Jun TW roof spoiler black to match the roof? I posted in another thread but I don't seem to be getting much feedback. I was thinking about leaving it white because you can see the spoiler better opposed to painting it black where ou can barely see it.

It's a collision repair shop in Pomona. I'm swapping my IS-F rear bumper with another member's oem ISX50 bumper and its the member's friend's shop.
Also, I realized I don't even have tint on my car, nor do I like the look on white cars. But it seems like it the roof wont flow well unless I tint the rear window. Should I opt to just tint the rear window? I don't wanna pay sub 400 dollars for non-metallic ceramic/carbon tint for all windows when I don't like the look of tint on white cars .. But I think if I tinted just the rear window to maybe like 15% it would flow a little better, inputs?
