Default Pic Request (long shot) : Painted Roof Black??

Anybody with a lighter color Disco, paint their roof (exterior) black? I've got the typical neglected-roof-paint-flaking-off issue going on and was considering a rattle-can solution this summer to keep things tidy. I would most likely go with the Rustoleum bedliner spray.

I like the white option on the darker colored Disco's, but since mine is yellow with black accents, so IMO, the white wouldn't look good. I have searched here and have Google-d with no results. Thanks in advance.

What about an ultra flat camo black color? I have the same disease on my black roof, looking at cheap options.

Yeah, I've seen that at the store as well, I saw the tan top in the DI section from a little while back that looked like it turned out well.

I've used the bedliner spray on some of my front bumper pieces recently and like the way it covered, but it might be better to go with something that will clean a little easier and is a little cheaper.

All I know is that I am NOT going to get it professionally done, and I'm NOT going to use gloss
