I wet-sanded with 600 grit just enough to rough up the old paint. My favorite dollar store had Rustoluem spray paint. I bought two cans and still have half a can left. Wiith a brown interior and a lot of glass, I didn't expect the roof to make much difference. Externally, the white surface feels much cooler than the rest of the car. No comments yet. Window tint is next....
