it isn't paint.... it is vinyl which can be removed anything. this vinyl has uv protection and it is made to last up to 5 years.

That's about as far as we can go with this, without Mr. Dante becoming a site vendor.

Please don't post prices etc., without contacting an admin.

I can make a true CF sunroof (glass replacement) once I tool back up (just moved to Arizona) for a few hundred $ (Don't see it being over $250 or so). I only use UV Resistant Epoxy (Marine Grade).

PM me in a few weeks.
