Question Removal of Roof Mounted Antenna

Has anyone removed the roof mounted antenna? My body shop guy doesnt really work with interiors so I was going to try and find out how the antenna is removed and how the headliner comes down if anyone has done this. I want to paint it black after I get the roof wrapped.

Garage List
The antenna is attached with glass adhesive, so it's gonna be on there super tight and not meant to be removed. If you do remove it there will be a exposed hole where the antenna is supposed to be.

I'm guessing that, with all those compound curves, wrapping it would be far from easy.
OP, why don't you mask around it, cover the car completely in dust sheets and spray paint it. However, you must ensure that the paint you use is suitable for antennas, otherwise it'll affect reception.
