Worth a try, cost nothing, and if water makes any fine scratches or super fine cracks "go away" then you'll know.
IF IT WEREN'T FOR PHYSICS AND LAW ENFORCEMENT, I'D BE UNSTOPPABLE

Maybe add just a little flake of your body color into the black? Like if the car is red, put some red flake in the black roof. When the sun hits it it will light up and add a little extra pop

White also does not show imperfections as readily as black does.

A lot depends on the colour of the Mini. If you are doing black and the body colour is gloss then gloss black is the way to go.
If in doubt, flat out. Colin Mc Rae MBE 1968-2007.
Give a car more power and it goes faster on the straights,
make a car lighter and it's faster everywhere. Colin Chapman.

Can't advise on shade of black, but I'd definitely vote "gloss". To me anything other than gloss always looks dirty.

I’m thinking seriously about painting my roof. I have a carbon fiber top and it’s developed a few blemishes. Thought I would spray it black—nothing fancy, just plan black. What is the standard; full gloss or satin? Any particular shade? Thanks!
