I managed to get a Thule Alpine roof box for my wifes Audi estate on Facebook for free. It seems in decent nick and I have the roof bars for this from a cycle carrier. However.... The roof box is red. Yes RED... Has anyone painted or wrapped a roof box? Any recommendations on which to go with? If paint, which paint? If wrap then any suggestions? I would love to match it with the colour of the car, which is black or carbon fibre pattern or even a white camo.... What I would like it to look like:  What it looks like:  |

I think it being a roof box is worse than it being red. 🤣

Think i’d paint it .
Montana graffiti paint is cheap with good coverage .
The people in my local graff paint shop are really helpful trying to match colours , giving advice & getting paint in stock .
Be worth checking if you have anything similar nearby .
👍

I'd base-paint it gloss white and add the camo as vinyl, cheapest way to do it I'd think. |

Sometimes there's a thin line between being negative and trying to be funny. I attempted the latter, but apparently landed on the wrong side of the line, for which I apologise. |
