1999 CLK320
vinyl wrap

Hi Folks,
my 1999 CLK320 is silver gray.
I plan to vinyl wrap the hood and the roof in a bright glossy black vinyl.
I am wondering if I should go with the trunk too. Any suggestions?
Is there some members who done it and can share pictures ?
Thanks in advance

Every now and then I have customers who are trying to buy materials from me try to figure out/decide on the same type of issue.

I usually suggest just simply going with the roof first, before deciding to do the hood and/or the trunk. I mainly suggest this because you may realize after doing the roof, that it provides enough contrast for you already. Doing just the roof already changes the look of the car quite a bit, so doing all 3 parts of the car changes the look of the car dramatically.

Thank You Don,
That's exactly the reason why I asked for pictures. If it's nice, I'll go for the 3 pieces in the same time, this will save me money and time.
But I agree that roof only could be enough change.

Don, I see you do PlastiDip too.
I would like to know if the cleaning of plastidip in satin or gloss color is easy. I previously had my Hummer H2 plastidipped in matte black and the cleaning was a pain, nearly impossible.
