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:

Carbon fiber roof install:

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.

Hello there Don! That is some quality work there. I was just wondering if I could get pricing on a gloss black roof wrap. I'm local so I could probably drive down during the weekends sometime soon. Also I was wondering if you could possibly wrap the front grille of the W204 to get rid of the silver. Hope to see more of your work in the future!

More like the other way around. I am waiting for some to come by so I can do them and get some pictures up

The reason why I joined up on here is because of the large amounts of Mercs that I have seen wrapped, but done poorly (IE seam lines, etc). I am here to change that

Here's some more pictures. Let me know if you guys want me to stop, or I can post up pictures of all of the cars I've done, so you guys have some eye candy to look at

Here are some pictures on a E-class where I blacked out his window trim + rear trunk chrome piece.

I know what you mean. Someone tried to vinyl my roof and you can see the seam lines . Vinyl can never be DIYed

Can you PM me a price? Do you do hood as well?

Did you try doing it yourself?

I do full car wraps as well, so anything in between a hood and a full car, I can usually do

Here's a s2k I wrapped in the 3M CF. From far away, it looks matte/flat black-ish:



However, up close, you can see the details of the CF weave:



I'll shoot you a PM right now.

This work is impressive. I always wanted to do the high gloss wrap on the roof, but live on the other side of the USA, and all the Body guys around here that I have been to, I will never go back to again...

Also, do you have any more picture of carbon fiber on the roof? I never even thought of doing that...

It's an art form that is not easy to perfect, so I am not surprise they left it and don't want to come back.

I'll find some pictures of the cf and post them in a bit as well.

Hope I am not overloading you guys with pictures, haha.

Haha, they didn't leave the business (unfortunately), I refuse to go back to them... Worst work I have seen in a while... I am in desperate need of a good shop on Long Island, or in the Tri-State Area for that matter. lol

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.

Yes, I can make custom graphics as well. However, remember, it's sometimes harder than it sounds to do custom stuff. Post up a picture or shoot me a PM with what you are trying to get done.

I've done hundreds of cars at this point. Here are just a few quick pictures of cars that I've done recently in each type/finish, just to give you guys an idea of how it looks like and the quality of my work:

Gloss black -






Well you are the man that knows how to do it right, your work looks first class. My problem is I live in the midwest. I love your roof I have a 09 c300. I would love for you to do a boatload of work but COUPLE THOUSAND MILES separate us. Your pictures are making me sick. What to do. You don`t have any installers here LOL





Matte black (looks like the same car, but it's actually a different one) -





3M Di-Noc Carbon Fiber -





For locals, I can supply the materials and do the entire installation at my location, for anything that you need to get done.

However, 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.

- Gloss/matte black roof vinyl (other finishes/colors are available upon request)
- Carbon fiber vinyl
- Black out window trim vinyl
- Interior/exterior trim
- Headlight/Tail light tinting
- Custom cut stickers/graphics
- Full car wraps
- Installations
- And More...

Let me know if you guys have any questions or if you are interested in anything.

thanks.

Haha, you guys are funny. I've had some guys on another forum try to organize me to fly over there and stay at one of their places for a weekend to do roofs, haha.

I wish I had installers else where, but with this kind of stuff, I like to try and keep it as localized/micromanaged as possible, in order to maintain the exact quality control I expect/want.
