Done it black last year, then it needed re-doing so went burgundy, now i've gone 'bright red', so only 3 times. It's only once more than usual as it would need re-dyeing once a year anyway.
Just got in and it's dried a nice red, although taking a decent photo under one tube light proved difficult. Will get some tomorrow after I wash the car. It'll need another coat at least, but i'm going away so will meed to stay as it is for a couple of weeks.

i'm just going off what someone else paid for their red roof on another forum. Another guy is paying 1k.
Not sure if having a heated glass rear window makes a difference?

Thats not bad at all. I'd be interested in a new roof at that price.
The last 2 days i've seen about 6 differents cars with red fabric roofs. They're taunting me

im sure you would, but as you have been nasty and referred to my superior s2000 as a POS im not telling you the place.
Unless you write me an appology and retract your previous statement and admit the s2000 is superior and you have a small willy

I'd be worried about someone damaging my roof replacing the top. I'm right for it leaking!
S2000 roof is like a caravan awning isn't it? Prob why it's so cheap

Cleaned off all the dye that had made it's way onto the rubber seals, then washed the car and took some driveway pics.
Wish I had time to give it 2 more coats. I reckon it'd look great then.
