The roof of my car has a few 'paint' issues.
I think parts of the roof have been painted as the finish is dull in places, there is also light cracking in those areas, these fill in with coloured polish but only for a month or so at a time.
The big issue is a few bigger cracks in the paint. I have sealed with lacquer, but need a more long term solution, so should I have a go at respraying my roof or would wrapping be a cheaper option?
Its only a cheap car and its the one aspect aestheticly that lets the car down.
Theres no rust and the paint is generally very good for the age.

What would I expect pay for a roof wrap and can anybody comment on the results. (I'd go for gloss black assuming they dont have royal metallic blue ready for me)

What would I expect to pay for a roof respray done professionally?

My main motive is I think it will be worth more to sell on with the roof paint issues sorted out as its a clean car, the engine looked like new when I bought it.

It will work out a lot cheaper to have the roof wrapped rather than painted

Cheers for the advice. I know it might look a bit chavvy for it but rather that than cracked paint on show.
