Don Nguyen | **Vinyl Roof Wrapping Services + Stickers/Graphics and more!**

For locals that are looking to get vinyl installed on their cars, I can supply both the materials and do the complete installation at my location. The best way to schedule an appointment with me or reach me is via e-mail at donathon@gmail.com

Here's a link to my Facebook Page - Gallery

I am located in Anaheim Hills / Orange County, California. (Note: I do occasionally make trips to Norcal / Bay Area for vinyl installations/work as well, contact me for more info)

For non-locals (or for someone who just wants or needs some materials) and would like to DIY it, I can supply and sell you just the materials to do the installation as well.

Prices varies for both installation and materials depending on the exact car, vinyl finish, and specific part(s) that you want wrapped, so PM or e-mail me (donathon@gmail.com) directly for price quotes.

- Gloss and matte black roof vinyl (other finishes/colors are available upon request)
- Gloss and matte Carbon fiber vinyl
- Black out chrome/brushed aluminum window trim vinyl
- Interior/exterior trim
- Head/tail light tinting
- Full car wraps
- Graphic/vinyl installations
- And More...

I've done installations on hundreds of cars and have supplied materials to thousands of cars worldwide at this point. Here are just one or two quick pictures of the cars and the work that I have personally done for them, just to give you guys an idea of how it looks like and the quality of my work:

Gloss black vinyl roof install:

Matte black roof install:




Carbon fiber roof install:
Before (hood and roof both originally painted gloss black):


After:


Tinted / smoked lights install:

Blacked out chrome/brushed aluminum window trim install:

After:



For a more concise way of viewing specific examples of my work, I have split the more popular types of installations into specific galleries, which you can view in the links below. Even if you may not see something pictured in one of the links below, feel free to contact me directly, as it is very likely that it is still something that I can do or have done in the past.

thanks.

Yep. PM sent. You'll find my prices very fair. It's right in the middle of guys who overcharge, and guys who are amateurs in the business who do it for next to nothing.

Unlike most big shops that charge more, I actually spend the time on each individual customer's car to make sure everything gets done right and correctly. I am a car enthusiast first, and a businessman second, so your car will be in good hands.

Also, although an amateur's price may sound tempting at first, you may end up spending more in the end. Sometimes they won't know what type of vinyl to use for a specific job, cut your paint/damage your car while installing the vinyl, and just overall do a poor excuse/job of a vinyl wrap.

I started out by doing graphics for my own car, so I know how important it is to get it done right the first time.

I am also starting to do clear bras, for those who are interested.

I can do a simple stage 1 package, which is just hoods and fenders, up to almost anything. Custom bumpers, etc, will not be a problem. All of my wraps are custom cut, and are not pre-cut, so they are formed exactly to your car's needs.

Let me know if any of you guys would be interested in that.

If you're a non-local (or someone who just wants/needs some material) and would like to give a DIY a shot, I can sell you just the material as well.

i am considering doing a wrap and have a buddy willing to help me with a DIY. I'm going to talk over wrap color options with him and get back to you as I am considering Gloss/matte black roof vinyl and Carbon fiber vinyl (not sure which would look best on my silver C32.

Also, what is black out window trim vinyl? Is that what goes on the exterior pillars? Any pics of that done?

For the tinting of tail lights, do you sell that stuff too? I was just going to use VHT Nite-Shades but if your stuff is better....then i wont use 'em

Cool. just let me know. Black out window trim vinyl is vinyl that you use to cover/get rid of your chrome window/door trims.

I personally believe my film is better, because it doesn't fade and it stays glossy forever. Unlike the tint, which I am sure many of you have seen, fades and becomes dull quickly over a short period of time.

Just let me know whatever you decide on

Thanks. It's always unfortunate to see guys who end up getting bad roof/vinyl jobs for cars that you have invested so much time and money into their cars.

Thanks. I am glad it's still holding up for you. It's been quite a while now. If I remember correctly, you ordered some for your window trim right?

Let me know if there's any specific car color, roof finish, etc, pictures that you guys may be interested in seeing. I can't make the exact car make, but I can see if I have cars with the color combos close to it.

Some more misc pictures for you guys:
