So you prefer painted tails over overlay'd tails, but you prefer overlay'd roof over painted roofs?

Wait until you get swirls. You won't be able to buff them out like you would with paint.

And compare the reflection of the tree in the overlay and in the glass. It's noticeable. The reflection from a good paint job will look as clear as glass.

Sorry but if my roof looked like that I would be p!ssed. People think that looks like paint? Mabey spray paint, but it looks so fake.

Like I said in two post all ready, a big sticker looks like....... a big sticker!

I seen roof overlays in person and the supposively "gloss black" looks FLAT black. Paint it if you really want it, only get overlays if your undecided.

I have the blue bat overlay, i figured that if i didn't like it, I'd pull it off and learn my lesson and lose 50. but if i did like it, whenever i get my car retouched with road rash/chips from previous driver, i'd get it painted. If you like the way it looks, i'd just get it painted. Im getting paint. ftw
