Hey fam. What is the best gloss black vinyl wrap for my roof? Thanks

 

cant go wrong with 3M

 

+1 for 3M. Mine was on the car for 5 ungaraged years before I considered replacing it.

 

^ did you take off your XM antenna before having the roof wrapped? Wanting to do this but not sure if I should go through the hassle of taking the antenna off and wrapping it separately, just leave it white, or plastdip it after the roof is wrapped.

 

Yes I did and it's worth it.

 

Love that blast from the past, Tyler!

 

Specifically, the 3M 1080 film is highly recommended and widely used by most shops that do vinyl wraps.

 

Looks Fab. If it aint 3M 1080, walk away !

 

+1 on 3M...Had mine for 3+ years and still looks glossy.

 

Sweet ride..........

 

^^^^ Brother, it's great to see you back!

 

I've gotten two quotes for this - $350 and $400

I'm wondering if I should just buy a roll and give it a go myself.

 

Thank you! I sold it back in 2015 but I enjoyed the vehicle!

I paid $450 for mine, so your pricing sounds about right.

 

 

It's definitely doable yourself. The roof is relatively flat. The most time consuming part of my install was tucking it under the roof rail moldings because I didn't want to remove them.

I paid around 100 CAD for the 3M 1080 gloss black roll, it's pretty cheap in US currency, around $75 i think

Good price and good shop to deal with.

I'd give it a go myself as well. As was said, the roof is so flat and featureless (minus the XM antenna) that you almost need to go out of your way to mess it up. And that 3M 1080 is pretty forgiving to amateur bumbling.

 

Yeah I saw that seller on eBay. I think maybe 5x6 roll should be enough?

 

How much are you guys buying for the roof?

 

measure your roof with a tape measure


buy >= than that

 

also.
