ive got a standard little glass sunroof, but need to take it out to spray the roof really... any tips/ guidance?
ALSO, where do you spray up to on the roof for a contrasting colour? is it the whole gutter or just before it?
cheers, MIKE

When I did the roof on my 30, I painted the metal sunroof surround the same colour as the roof, as I couldn't figure out how to get it off! I just strpiied all the other parts. Looked fine.

I paint roofs like this, the red is the roof colour, the blue the body colour. Paint the roof first, letting the paint go slightly over the outer edge of the gutter, and then bring the body colour to the top of the outside edge of the gutter. This way you don't end up with no paint right on the top, which would lead to rusting, obviously.
