Gloss black vinyl on roof?

Skeeterbop · 11-20-2011, 12:23 PM

If i was to order the overlay from you Bluebatmobile, would i still need to get the squeege? (I know i probably should get a professional to do it, but i would rather wrap it my self)

That looks great man! I have 35% tint on my Z right now so I'd probably have to get them re-done darker once I get my roof wrapped.

Thanks I may have to order this also.

Just had my roof wrapped in gloss black. I'm really happy with how it turned out.

I have more pics in an album I posted too.

Got it thanks! How is the antenna done? One piece for roof and cut it? Or ???

I had them cut around my antenna and I think it looks pretty good.

I had someone install it but it didn't look too difficult. They used the black rubber ring between the roof and antenna as the separation point for the vinyl which worked out really well. Also, the antenna wrap is in two pieces. The rear side of the antenna is actually a small separate piece of vinyl. When you look closely at the antenna you can see the seam but it doesn't look bad in my opinion. It's not very noticeable.

^ Is the reflection off the vinyl pretty clear, or does it appear to have slight blurriness to it ?

Thanks guys for the feedback, appreciate it....I will be having a professional installer do mine.

The high gloss sample I received from Bat, looks good.

It's not as clear/smooth as a paint job would be. There is some blurriness mainly due to the fact that is not as smooth as a clear coat would be. It shines well. It doesn't look as nice as a paint job would look but it also doesn't look bad by any means.

Thanks, good info. A good way to go if you do not want to paint it. Plus I heard they hold up well if you treat it like a paint job. It's the way I will be going.

When are you having it installed? Be sure to post some pics once you have it.
