Im sure you can go to any local auto paint shop and buy a gallon of quality black paint for your roof for under $50 dollars and have pretty much any reputable body shop paint your roof black for under $300 all for a total under $350. If you are like some of the other members on here that would rather pay more than you should than go ahead but i do hope you consider my argument before you pay $500 for your roof. In addition, i wouldn't write off getting the roof wrapped to quickly. Its proves to be not only the more inexpensive choice but the results are almost just as good and it doesn't devalue your vehicle as painting it would simply because it can be easily removed.

Perhaps if you get an extremely high quality wrap and a great installer it'll come close to paint, but that wasn't my experience. Another advantage of paint is that you can detail it just like the rest of your car with polish and wax.
