    Top painting

    Hi, did any one know if it is possible to get just the top of our rabbit painted.
    (Like a black top for a candy white rabbit?) How much would that cost?~

    It'd be a few hunderd dollars to do it right. The vinyl wrap is removable if you get tired of it. Plastidip is an option as well, but might not look quite right.

    Yeah, like they said you can have a professional vinyl wrap done to your roof. You could also have a body shop paint it, I would estimate the cost for a good paint job to be in the $200-$300 range.

    How long do you plan on keeping the car? How old is it now? Paint fades, so doing a vinyl wrap will preserve the paint on the roof, but when you take it off may be a darker shade then the rest of the car. If you paint it and ever sell it the value may be reduced, either because the roof is a different color or because you repainted it and people question why a car was repainted.

    If the car is a few years old I probably wouldn't worry about fade as much.
