What finish?

Here's pictures of a white BMW E90 3 series that I vinyl wrapped the roof with in gloss black. He also had black wheels, so it'll give those who are curious how the black roof works with black wheels.

Don,

How long does this vinyl last? And what happens before the end of it's life, does it dry out, flake, fade? Thanks.

Joe

 

I am curious too. I used to paint my roofs before but this time around they are telling me just to wrap it instead. What's the long term effects on the paint? And do you just clean and wax like normal paint? I might use your assistance Don since you are like on all the forums. PM me pricing for an A5 roof with a very SUBTLE roof spoiler.

 

Pm me price for wrapping my roof in matte black. I live in marina del rey.

 

Most likely the vinyl (for the vinyl I use), will last longer than most of you will own your cars. Once it starts nearing the end of its life, it'll depend on how you cared for it, but all of the above you listed could happen. Most of the time, it just starts having faded spots in the vinyl.

The vinyl I use is meant to be completely reversible. The only time I've seen vinyl that I use peel paint, is where the paint/clear coat was already coming off. I can also assume/see paint coming off, if it was a poor repaint job.

Care is very simple. I've had it on one of my friend's cars that he tracks and parks outside all/every day, without any issues really thus far.

What finish did you want to wrap your A5's roof in?

how much for a flat black roof on my c230 in 91711?

 

Gloss black. I also have a shark fish antennae as well....you can wrap that too right?

 

No, it would not be possible to wrap the antenna on that car.

 

any pics of the roof or anything done on a dark blue car?

 

Not a benz, or super dark, but hopefully these are close enough.

Here's a Kia Forte that I vinyl wrapped the roof in gloss black.

In comparison to gloss black on a blue car, there's matte black on a blue car. Sorry for the quality, didn't have my regular camera on hand, and had to use a point and shoot.

How about something a bit different. Here's a new Honda Insight that I vinyl wrapped the roof with in matte black.

I would like to do some work to my car, where are you located and when is good?

 

I am in Irvine and schedule appointments throughout the week. Shoot me a PM with what days/times usually works best for you and we'll go from there.

Still contemplating on taking that hour drive or getting it done more local for a little more $$. You do great work though!

 

Long beach to Irvine is not very far.

$5 or $10 dollars in gas, for something that's going to be on your car for how long it is, is probably worth it

 

I live in Marina Del Rey now, forgot to update my info. But I know where your coming from. Still contemplating so I will let you know.

 

Some real quick pictures. Here's some tails on an Nissan Altima that I tinted/wrapped with a red clear vinyl film:

Here are pictures of the fogs that I vinyl wrapped/tinted in a yellow film.

Let me know if any of you would be interested in getting this done on your cars.

Hey Don, im supposed to have you do some work to my car tomorrow at noon but i don't have the address or your number.

 

Smoked/tinted the tails on this new Mercedes E class. Trimmed out the reverse/turn signal portions as well for him.

Let me know what you guys think.

Vinyl wrapped the roof of this E60 BMW 550i in gloss black material.

I know almost all of my pictures of white cars, but I must admit, they do look the best on white cars. Although, I do wish cars of other colors would come by to get it done, and add a little bit more of variety, haha.

Vinyl wrapped this white E92 2-door BMW 3 series's roof in gloss black vinyl.

Here's a white C300 Mercedes that I vinyl wrapped the roof in gloss black for. Note, the roof/side rails were already black, and so was the antenna.

I may mildly regret posting these pictures, but I had some people ask me if I've done it before, and to post pictures if I do/have. Well, here are pictures of an aftermarket Mercedes C class front grill that I vinyl wrapped in the 3M Di-noc carbon fiber material.

Now note, it's not really possible...actually let me rephrase that...it's not really practical to wrap some of the grills that are out there, due to its design and shapes. However, this one is one of those exceptions.

Sorry for the pictures, I didn't have much lighting, and had to use a flash to even get the weaves to show. Let me know what you guys think.
