| Spray it with plasticote enamel (from B&Q) gives a nice hard wearing finish. | |

Think it would look cool painted black!! I agree, my 110 roof is now black, as are the rock sliders,eyebrows and the bits that are normally galv on a series motor (door/body cappings) | |

| If its painted black then it will absorb the suns rays, if its painted with acrylic paint then it will probably blister and crack with the heat. I now we dont live in africa but when its as sunny as its been the last couple of weeks then you would be insane (imo) to paint the roof black. Unless you want to griddle a few eggs and bacon on it. | |
