Honestly, it depends on the spray paint. Some are made for automotive use, but be ready for more frequent touch-ups.

To paint your car roof like a pro, start by thoroughly cleaning the surface. Use a degreaser and sand it lightly to help the paint adhere better.
Great tip! Iād also recommend using a primer, especially if youāre changing colors dramatically.
For an even coat, spray in a continuous motion! Keep the spray gun at the same distance from the surface.
Exactly! Also, make sure to overlap your passes slightly to avoid streaks.
I find that using a clear coat after the color really helps enhance the finish and longevity. Be sure to let each layer dry thoroughly between coats!
Great advice! Applying it too thick can lead to runs, so patience is key!
And donāt forget ventilation! Painting in a well-ventilated area helps the paint dry evenly and reduces fumes.
Very true! I painted my roof in the garage once and it took forever to dry!
What kind of paint do you all recommend? Iāve heard differing opinions on spray versus brush methods.
Spray paint is definitely better for an even finish! Brushes can leave marks and imperfections.
Itās all about practice! My first attempt was a disaster, but now Iām painting roofs like a pro ā well, kind of!
