Quite like the silver badges. But black might look better with the wheels etc.

The roof will be just as easy as the rest, it seems to be a simple design so no tricky bits. You'll need a mate to help though

its more the drain ridges around the edges.
im rubbish at spraying which is why i was going to avoid it, but this enamel paint i used on the hinges etc goes on really nice and easy on a smooth surface so I reckon painting with that would be a better easier option

Windscreen out when doing that part? would be better to get the vinyl under the seal a bit wouldn't it to stop the chances of rain messing the edges up?
