Summer?

Because of temp?

Yes, assuming you’re doing it outside.
make sure it’s a foam roller or the carolla will turn into a 84 sheep dog.

Temp and humidity are huge factors in painting.

Prep is the key and will (should) take the longest amount of time during the process.

I’d guess $100 and 3-4 hours, so I’m over budget on both...

Is the roof rack easily removed?
I wonder what one of those wrapping places would charge to slap a piece of gloss black on there?
seems like it would be a quick job.

It was when I put it on in 2006... not so sure anymore.

Yeah I considered taking it to get painted or whatever professionally, but like I said keep as possible.

I may be a keyboard warrior by profession, but I'm an analog man on the weekends.

Also been to AK 3 times in 3 years, I read the gospel of Randy and took it to heart.
