spoke with andy from blue bat today and im seriously thinking o getthing his new vinyl that he offers its called supergloss. he said it comes in 2 pieces so im wondering if anybody got the 2 piece overlay from him before for the roof? he said the material hes using is rated 7 yrs exterior grade vinyl and is about 6mm thick. any reviews guys?

No reviews from me, but I'm not sure if I'd go with a 2 piece Depending where the two pieces meet, sounds like it'd be somewhat difficult getting them to be perfect and even then where the two pieces meet would be a little noticeable. 6mm thick vinyl is uhm unheard of in my book lol
Gimme a link to check this stuff out.

The 2 piece roof situation is concerning. But if you do it right, I don't think it would be a problem. I can tell you that I have purchased from BlueBatmobile before (headlight tints), and liked his products. For me, the tints were easy to apply and were made of good material. That's why I said that I think his product would be OK-even if it is two pieces.

Maybe 0.6mm? 6mm would be THICK, 0.6mm is some decently heavy duty stuff.

i dont remember where the two pieces meet he was talking really fast on the phone and giving me tons of info on the overlay but i think it might be 0.6mm thick not 6mm sorry.

Mil Thickness: Measurement used to determine thickness of a coating. 1 mil = .001 inch (1/1000). So 6 mil would be 6/1000 of an inch in thickness.

Get a one piece from eBay. You'll need about 5.5 feet x 4 feet for full coverage.

I'll never understand why Blue Bat still does not offer a one-peice version.

Shipping ... long mailing tubes get bent.

I have the 2 piece overlay and they don't butt together they overlap about 1/2" and the seam is hard to see.

I have had it on 2 years now and it holding up great.

i gotta make up my mind with what i want to do..im getting tired of starring at my sorona roof spoiler so i gotta decide if i want 1 piece, 2 piece, or just paint the damn roof...what would you do in my shoes?

also would you think there would be a big noticeable difference if i decide to vinyl the roof and paint the antenna and roof spoiler? would it stick out like a sore thumb?

^ Painting should not be an option....

STAY AWAY!!!! I have the left side in my garage. It didnt line up at all! Choose your gap...either around the sunroof or around the XM antenna. Avoid and just get a 1 piece locally

Then procure a stiffer tube. This is complete bullshit reasoning.

OP - Yes, the colors will look different. Vinyl does not have the same reflective properties of a clearcoat.

Go on ebay, look up the guy that lets you buy to length @ 48" width, and get a 6 ft length. You should have enough left over to do the spoiler as well, the roof is like 5' and a very few inches.

well if i wrapped the spoiler and antenna would it look weird...idk how to explain but isnt it hard to vinyl something thats has curves and bends?

DeathMetal

Not at all. I did my antenna without using the wet film method, you just need to know how to pull and tug the material properly to get a perfect fit. My antenna went PERFECTLY using this method, not a single stretch mark/bubble to account for. Took all of 10 minutes.

well the thing is their isnt many vinyl shops in my area and the only shops that are only do vinyl signs and crap like that they all specialize in vinyl for businesses and nothing for cars

Any tint shop should be able to do this. It's pretty hard to f*ck up.
