Hi

 

Is the mk3 monte black roof a vinyl or is painted from factory?

It feels vinyl but not 100% sure. Dont want to polish it and then find it vinyl and have swirls

 

Thanks

Hi, the mk3 roof is in fact paint. The paint is quite thin. My friends colour edition has cracked paint due to previous owner not caring for bird poo and you can see the body colour underneath the cracks. 

 

But you can polish it (as we have) just go easy and exercise caution to pressure and aggressiveness of the compound / polish. 

 

The paint is called Black Magic. Paint codes are either 9910, 1Z, C9Z, Z4, F9R, L991. But I always go with F9R.
