I too had contimplated it for a sec but its overboard. Plus the fact that its textured would be terrible. Roof needs to be silky smooth.

I cant speak about long term durability as I have only had it done about two weeks now. I have yet to see a chip from rocks. Its rubbery so it will take impacts better than paint. I believe it will hold up good. I actually hit a deer goin about 45 a few days after I plasti dipped the fangs and only a little spot came off , probably where a hoof hit. My advice is do a light coat first, one that you can still see the factory paint thru. This will set a base for the other coats to stick to. After the first do another light coat or two. Give it 10 min inbetween the light coats. After that lay it on thicker. Do as many coats as you please. I figure the more coats the less likey to chip. A good half hour between thicker coats is recommended. I removed my masking less than 24 hrs after applying and it made removal a bit challenging. The plasti dip was still elasticy. Stuck to tape a bit. I would let it sit two days before removing masking. Basically do it once the plasti dip doesnt feel sticky to the touch anymore. It will for a bit after applied. Good luck.
