Extinct, how did you paint the roof? It looks good and I have that on my list next. Just tape and spray it? I am trying to decide if it is worth dropping the headliner to pull the roof rack and sunroofs. How much did you take it apart? I used those Rustoleum Turbo cans on a different project and they worked amazingly well. Or Plastidip could work too.

It is plasti-dip. I got varying opinions on the color desirability so I did not want to make it permanent. I just masked it. It has been like that for a year. I applied a lot of glossifier to it. Plastidip is also easy to repair if you need to. Not as glossy as paint of course.

You have to realize you don't set the price, the market does. Too high and it sits in driveway, too low and you always wonder if it was worth more. Several of by Rover buddies were worried when it was at $2k earlier in the week, but that is how these auctions always go.
