I have a '93 Explorer Sport, and the hood and roof were oxidized more than I liked. Figured it was cheaper to just have them Rhino-lined versus paint, and being the major horizontal surfaces, thought it would be more functional as well. Cost me about $400 to get the hood and roof done here in VA.
On a Disco-related note, I used the roll-on Rustoleum bed liner stuff to do the lower body panels and hood section on my '99 D1 SD. I was thinking of doing the roof as well, but figured that was enough, and a black roof will heat up the inside a LOT more than a white roof would. 'Course could always go with white Rhino-liner on the roof, lol...

Forgot to mention, guy I worked with had a black fj, tinted out lifted etc. He had the factory whit roof and other stuff lines, looked awsome , but made it difficult to cool off with a/c
I was Leary bout the hood blackout making engine ron hotter but don't think it affects it due to the hood insulation

Yeah it really doesn't look that good after all. The one on the grey looked awesome Maybe it has to be a color similar to the black Not sure about the hood It seems the purpose is for glare off roof rack lights The white is a good color I may just leave it alone and focus on other things (such as keeping it running!)
