Default Painting blobeye roof

Hi all, I have some bad scratches on my roof so needs painting. Is this possible without having to remove the front windscreen rubber trim, due to over spray issues? Cheers in advance. Ade

I had my bugeye done few years ago 8n Alfa black
removed the two long pieces of trim on the roof and rear windscreen trims but didnt mess with the front ones

Certainly would be a good time for the spec c roof flap mod if your into that that is ;-)

Thanks for that mate, did it look ok even though trim was not removed on the front? And yes would be a good idea for spec c vent!

Will that mean buying a new one or can the original be replaced?

make sure body shop is competent and ask him if he will need replacement trims etc
