Painted roof and halo
Decided to remove the blk wrap and get the targa and b pillar painted. I know it's not for everyone but I have always liked the carbon flash metallic paint color on the centennials and thought it would look great against my machine silver. It is very sunny right now but here she is. I will get better pics this afternoon.

That's a very reasonable price for all the work involved.

Agreed. He is a 30 year private shop owner who made his name doing the work that the big shops would turn down such as dealing with after market parts. He loves working on my car and has done the paint on my hood, nose, roof, halo and blended the front fenders that a previous shop could not match on my widebody. He did my after market hood for $450. The next closest quote was $660 from the place that couldnt match the paint. I also found that some places wanted to charge extra for doing the final wet sanding.

I went the other direction recently. As y’all know it can get real warm here in the south during the summer months... and the smoked top is a contributor to the discomfort as it beats down on you. To eliminate this issue bought a black top in like-new condition, painted it in carbon flash and applied the Centennial graphics. The smoked top awaits its turn this fall

Looks great. Bet that combo really looks good.
Great price also. I paid $1200 to have Targa, Halo, ZR1 Spoiler and side Mirrors painted gloss black on my AW coupe. Shop owner was hesitant to do it as he didn't think it would look good.
He apologized when it was finished, saying it looked amazing. The whole crew came over to compliment the look when I picked it up.
