But what are the downsides or minuses to vinyl wrap?
-Does it really look as good as paint?
-Will it in 8 years?
-What happens if I want to take it off?

Maybe I should ask:
-What might be the cost to paint my roof black?

I can't imagine it would be more than $4-500 to paint your roof. Vinyl wrap would probably be around $200 from what I've seen. It does look good when it's taken care of but the gloss black tends to show scratches pretty easily. The wraps tend to last 3-5 years on roofs/hoods/trunks because of the large flat surfaces having the sun hit them the most directly. That also varies on how well it is taken care of.
