I'm brand new to this forum, so sorry if this has already been covered. I just got my hands on a 2003 red Z06 in great shape, but it is 100% stock. I am trying to find if anybody has painted the roof black, similar to a C6 ZR1? I'm not brave enough to try it without seeing it!

Plasti-Dip it. you can see if you like it or not...if not, just peel it off

Did my rear bumper the other day (also an 03 Red Z). plasti-dip is really friendly stuff to work with.

Good tip! Thanks! Can you post a pic? I was thinking of doing the bumper too.

FYI...the ZR1 roof is carbon fiber not black.

I've seen a couple done that way and didn't like the look at all. But to each his own.

here are my 2 that i have done

Looks cool to me! I wouldn't do it to my car, but I don't mind the look at all. I am one of those guys who like the bone stock look on almost all my cars, and usually hate custom touches, but I think it looks pretty cool.

The 2nd one looks like it was done in Dodge "GoMango" orange.

Looks like som to me either way looks cool. Depending when I get done around the house I have 2a cans of the stuff. I want to try my roof tonight.

those 2 came out really nice is that plasti-dip?

dascorcha21

its vicivious red (burnt orange look, that changes a bit with lighting) and no its painted black on both no temp paint here.

mattbee

That looks nicer than I thought it would. I usually wuss-out on major changes and keep cars stock. Maybe the plasti-dip will be a good way to see how I like it. My biggest concern is finding a good body shop that can do it right. I've had 3 horrible auto painting experiences in the Tampa area from "good" body shops. Anybody happen to be in the Tampa area and have a recommendation for a good paint shop?

Vynil wrap before you paint the car. You can go glossy or flat...and if you don't like it, just peel it off to to go back to stock.

Never Late

You can spend about $200 on some vinyl wrap in either matte black, gloss black, or even carbon fiber print and wrap your roof.

I might be getting mine wrapped just like this soon. Been thinking about it for a while just haven't pulled the trigger yet. If I do I will surely post pics. I would not paint it as it would cost far to much to get it swapped back if I were to ever sell it.

Looks great on coupes, crap on hardtops.

Wrap or dip it. If you don't like it, peel it off. This is mine wrapped in matte black.

So tried it out then peeled it off. I liked it but it would look awesome in gloss black or even carbon fiber.

The car looked good Jerry. Why did you peel it off?

heypal

Driver side roof was a bit messed up easiest way of explaining it was it looked like it had wet spots...it was all dry in fact fyi this stuff drys QUICK. Oh and I left the bumper on I love it. I also painted my screws for the tail lights black with real paint lol.

My friends all did it for me since I was just in freaking pain I think they did a great job.
