Vinyl wrapping roof

Not sure what area you are in but search through Don's threads and I am sure you'll find quite a few pics. Or PM him as I am sure he'll be more than happy to respond to any Q's.

I paid $180 Canadian for the job. The average price quote was from 220-250 dollars from most places, but I got a minor discount for removing the roof antenna myself to make the job easier. 3M vinyl was used, and I love the look. The finish is pretty much as good as it's going to get for vinyl, I washed, clay bar'd and polished the roof before it was wrapped.

Good post.
Also, watch out for cheaper materials. They tend to shrink at the edges after a few weeks under the sun.

I wrapped the roof of my wife's white c300 with my brother. I bought 3M 1080 gloss black vinyl wrap from ebay for about $60.
The vinyl was super forgiving because it was porous and removing air bubbles just involved rubbing or tapping on the bubble with your finger.
I never wrapped a roof before and I give it a 7/10 on difficulty scale...primarily because of the antenna.
It's been on for 2 years with no issues whatsoever. You can even wax it and it looks like glass.
It's definitely a fun DIY job if you have a clean environment to work in and you have a second set of hands.
