For the roof I think I'd go for a more gloss black. Satin/mattes in my experience end up grey and don't look as good on cars Cheers, David

I defenitely would not paint the galvanised cappings! I also painted my roof and was in doubt what colour, but at the end I'm glad I kept it Limestone. Cheers, Vincent

just a thought on the painting things idea- maybe you could use plastidip and then if you like it you can remove and paint properly? Cheers, David

You might want to check, but I think I've read that the freestyle alloys aren't load rated enough for 110's.
