Raptor liner. It's 2k and doesn't have all the little rubber bits in it that Herculiner does. Also UV stable, so it won't fade. If you have a compressor, it's $100 for the kit and comes with everything you need. Even the gun.

Not Herculiner for sure. I did this a while ago and its all coming off now and fading away. I will either get it professionally done or go with a higher quality kit that can be used with a spray gun. I have heard good things about Upol Raptor, Gator grip or something and a few others.
Edit: This is the Gator Guard, professionally sprayed by the guys at River Raider Off Road. I checked it out in person at the PA Jeeps jeep show. Looked great, no fading or blemishes. http://picasaweb.google.com/riverraiderss/CrusherCorners#5332347945239032082

Black? on the roof? Can you say HOT in the summer?
Maybe not as much an issue in PA as in the southwest, but I think you just want to re-paint it.
My old man used latex-base white house paint, thick as could be, on the roof of his work van in Florida. Stripped interior, no headliner - the thing stays pretty cool even in summer, at least relative to how it was with metallic brown on top. I'm betting house paint will stay UV resistant - and with the thickness of it, durable.

I would go with white raptor. You can buy a tintable kit, which comes in a sort of bone/gray color. If you added some pearl white though, I think it could look really nice.
