I have a white 2000 D2 with a hood blackout. See link up-thread.

 

Maybe a vinyl roof?

 

Thanks for the feedback, I'll check him out. Quite the range of opinion on here. It seems to look good to me online but to really know I think I'll need to see one in real life

 

Hadn't even considered a vinyl. On first look, probably not for me.

 

I was joking. I lived through the '70s. The only thing worse than the vinyl roofs was the fake wood grain.

 

Have not been on this forum in a long time! Funny this topic is up... living in Florida my clear coat went bad years ago starting in all flat surfaces. I initially painted the roof top with satin epoxy rattle can VHT paint but the paint chalked up and the clearcoat damage spreaded out past the covered areas. Then I painted the roof with black Plasti Dip which lasted 2 years. I liked the black look. The D2 stepped roof is unique. Now I find myself trying to decide if I paint it silver or black since I stripped it last week.

Linex wanted $900.00 to do it. I am not painting it with clear again since it sits in the sun 24/7. Thinking of using Raptor liner spray but in tinted factory silver or black. Have seen the YouTube videos. If all goes well I may do the rest if the body later in the year. I got a quote to spray the D2 in black for $2500.00. I can do it for about $300.00+
but right now only the top of the front fenders clearcoat is bad. No rush.

I have a white rover...but I still can't grasp that...I dont even think a black roof on a white Rover would look right.

I do think...a union jack symbol painted on the roof and hood would look fantastic in any color.

 

Oh dear God..... NO!!

 

im not a huge fan of the Union Jack, but if you consider it, I would try a grey scale graphic in white, light grey, and charcoal.

 

am not going for the Union Jack, but have considered doing a gunmetal grey plasti-dip top on an Alveston Red rig. White is a no go for me, blacks too dark.
