I really want a red roof, but don't want a JCW.
Which would be better in the long run, wrapping or painting it?
Opinions please...

 

i would say wrap it.then at resale you can go back to original.

 

I was going to say paint, due to long term durability. But you have a good point there. Red roof may not be to everyone's taste, so the ability to peel it off might not be a bad thing. If this is a car that could be traded or sold a few years down the road.

If you plan to be buried in your Coupé, just paint it.

 

I'd say wrap it but the Coupe roofline is gonna be one bugger to wrap easily. The breaks in the rear spoiler and the compound curves will be tough without having seams.

 

In my experience with Vinyl, it looks bad after a year or so. I would paint it if it were me. Just like the vinyl can be peeled off, the roof can always be painted back if someone hates it that much,,,,,,,,,, but I doubt they will.

 

"Which would be better in the long run?"

Ya, I missed that part. That being the case definitely paint it. However using brands like 3M I've had vinyl last and look likeA roof is a big area and vinyl doesn't like to bake in the sun.
