Default Paint and or vinyl question

I ordered a hardtop and should be here this week. Only thing is I have to get it painted. Does anyone here know of anyplace local to the chicagoland area that paints well at a decent price?

My other option would be to vinyl wrap it in that 3m carbon stuff, Does anyone know how much that would run or if it would be even worth doing it? I've seen it on some other cars and it looks almost identical to real dry carbon.

I guess it depends on the hard top your getting. Paint would be my first choice but vinyl will work and can look good if done right.

What kind of top? I wouldn't wrap an non-carbon top in carbon (actually, I wouldn't wrap anything in carbon). Vinyling will probably be cheaper if you do it yourself but it is a pain.

The idea of vinyl was just that, an idea I will be getting it painted, I found a shop that does good work and will paint match my sebring (hopefully since I heard its really hard to match).

Edit: The top is a mugen frp
