Had a few niggling stone chips most annoyingly on the leading edge of the roof. Visited a smart repair bloke who said it would be a mare to do because of it being horiontal
Mooched internet and thought sod it i'll do it meself, so after taking advice like picking at loose edges with a toothpick etc it turned into quite a large patch by the time I found an edge that wasn't loose. So having rubbed back, kniffing putty, prime, you know the drill it aint brilliant. So I'm going to have the roof Black.
Just can't make up my mind wether or not to have it painted or go for a carbon or plain black wrap.
Any thoughts......Clean ones er indoors is watching

You plonka!
I can't complain though - tried painting the dust bin lid that sits on the lower part of my front bumper myself! Ended up having it done professionally.
Seen the CF and it is nice - different to boring black. I'd go for the film personally, plus reversible!

Well you certainly can't polish a turd.
Wrapping dudes say as long as its smooth np probs. Only might be an issue when removing the wrap. So if I get it done it'll have to stay like it.
Though I might see about getting it blown over with a sealer coat first.
