Gator grain tops are the correct “Antiqued” brown color with slight green tinting
and have 1200 hours of level 5 UV (Ultra Violet) light protection with a heavy-weight cloth backing....


I need it colour black...

Do you want to do your car back to Original ? If so the Legendary vinyl is the correct vinyl for your roof, as it ages, it will get darker.

If you are dead set against the original vinyl that Legendary sell, you can always try the guys at SMS auto fabrics, it is not the correct vinyl, but it does come in a pure black.

Sounds to me you are going back to original with a full restoration, as your fender tag reads as Black Gator Grain roof, that is correct and what Legendary sell is an exact replica of the original Gator Grain Vinyl, it is the color they make it in that has a Blackish, green brown look to it, it will darken with age, What SMS sell is an all Black Gator vinyl that is not correct in color to factory original vinyl. Your barracuda sounds sweet, my brother has a Challenger SE in the same color combo of Burnt Orange exterior and Burnt Orange interior with a Gator Grain roof, he is in the process of collecting parts to do a restoration on it also, and he will be buying a Gator Grain vinyl roof from Legendary also. We did buy some of the Black gator vinyl from SMS before the Legendary Vinyl was released, if we had known, we would have waited for the Legendary vinyl. :2thumbs:

You are more than welcome Gator Grain, look forward to seeing some pictures of your car when you get a chance to post them up and share them with us all :2thumbs: Are you doing it back to a Gran Coupe with all the Gran Coupe emblems and bright work, would look great with the Argent Silver Gran Coupe rear end done all correctly, making my mouth water, just the thought of your cool color combo Barracuda :drool: :2thumbs:

What wheels are you planning to run on the GC (Gran Coupe) :burnout:
