Gloss black vinyl on roof?

MattP725 · 10-22-2011, 09:03 AM

Has anyone used a Vinyl wrap on the roof to go gloss black? I don't want to paint it as I want to be able to remove if I feel it necessary.

Yep- The thread above yours shows someone wrapping their PW with a black roof. Here is mine.

Yeah I had a satin black on my Z and it was great.

yep, i've got flat black on my silver, and Dallaz has gloss black on his monterrey blue. His looks better, but mines easier to keep clean lol

I have gloss black vinyl in my roof as well.. Got it from BlueBatmobile..

Very happy with my decision, really makes the Z look different..

corbin- roof's looking good. btw, what wheels are those?

corbin09 · 10-23-2011, 10:01 AM

They are MB Battles.. best bang for the buck wheel. 18x9.5 +15 all the way around. They weigh 21 lbs so pretty light. You can pick them up for around 800 bucks for a set.

Did you install yourself? Also how much was it?

Interested to hear if there are some cheap solutions to a black roof. Someone i spoke to privately said it was about $600 to have it painted.

I saw someone tried to Plati-Dip their roof as well. Didn't turn out very well..

somatic · 10-23-2011, 11:47 AM

Dallaz an I each got ours done for under $250

I tried that. Would have been fine if I wanted a flat finish, but I wanted gloss as well. I'm debating whether to get vinyl or get it painted. I've been quoted $350 to paint the roof gloss black.

That's low. If they're a reputable shop Id go for it

They are a really good shop and the same ones that did my tail lights. Would be great to get this as a bday present in February

I'm doing mine this winter plus I work in a body shop so I get it painted for free.

b1adesofcha0s · 10-23-2011, 06:15 PM

Only thing is it might make me want to get my window tints re-done to make them darker so it looks better with the black roof
