Default Paint or wrap roof

Hi all,

After having my roof painted 3 times in Spain and each time either the colour wrong or just a bad job.

My windscreen cracked today so am going to have another go at getting it painted at a different place whilst the windscreen is out.

Or shall I just get the roof wrapped? Car is colour is 02C

Not really into carbon wrap though, but the chance of the job being good are slim!!

anyone have any other ideas?

Ade

Looks good mate - do you recon it would be too much having the whole roof done?

I suppose I could get the top of the wing done to match ??

That may look ok??

The trouble with 02C/42C WRX Blue is most paint manufacturers list something like 6 different variations of the colour.

A decent sprayer should be able to match it without issues.

Think it will look good like carbon roof on other cars.
A little strange paint shop can not match colour,for example abroad they take off part with original colour ,usually petrol flap and match it within a one day.
