Paint removable roof "Carbon Flash"?
 

My car is a AW/Red 1LT, NPP, Auto

I ordered a aftermarket stinger stripe. I'm also thinking about having the roof painted carbon flash to match the rest of the black bits and pieces on the car. I think the black roof will really tie everything together

Thoughts?......and yes the hashes are just vinyl.

I think the painted roof is an excellent idea. With all due respect, the red hash stripes doesn't work because you've added a 3rd color that's totally unrelated. Also, I'm not a fan of vinyl on cars. I do like your idea of the 2 color white with black detailing theme..

I am having my hood stinger stripe painted in Carbon Flash Blk.

By the way, I see the P51 in the photo. Do you fly RC? I have attached a photo of my '51. No vinyl decals on it either....all paint.

why dont you just wrap it... you could probably do it yourself... I know that carbon fiber wrap is really cheap...

I have the carbon flash stinger and am getting the top painted to just extend the stripe on the roof, not painting the whole roof.

I was thinking the same thing, paint the removable top carbon flash to match the mirrors & spoiler I wonder if they have a carbon flash vinyl it would be a good test prior to paint I like the look of the clear tint to but don't want the heat I'll be standing by waiting for pictures

Car looks great man Arctic White > All. If you don't mind me asking how much did it cost to have your garage floor done? I love the look of polished concrete.

The floor is the Rustoleum do it yourself garage floor staining kit from Home Depot. About $150 per single space garage area

Nice RC Alfie. Mine was RTF....I am impatient.

Bob,

I must say I am normally not a fan of white but this particular combo looks very good. With all due respect I would have to say as well that those hashes do not fit at all. I can see your thought process but to me they look like a cheap add on that takes away from the rest of the car.

I'm not sure how painting the roof would turn out but I am a huge fan of the exposed carbon fiber roof. I saw one on a Velocity Yellow C7 with the carbon flash mirrors, Z51 Spoiler and black wheels and it looked incredible. That is my combo for next spring.

Good Luck in your decision!

Thanks man!

I agree withthe others about the stripes, but it's your car. Your idea about the painted roof sounds great!:thumbs:
