FS: Black Roof/Car Vinyl Wraps

[Don Nguyen]

This white Lexus IS350 dropped by to have me vinyl wrap the roof of his car with my gloss black material. Hopefully these pictures will help out those who have carbon fiber hoods see how the gloss black vinyl roof matches/looks with a carbon hood. I thought that the gloss black vinyl roof complimented the carbon fiber hood and other carbon fiber/black accents on the car fairly well. The owner of this car was from around Cerritos and came out to me in Anaheim Hills/Orange County to have the work done.

Looks like if I buy this I will be putting a silk purse on a sow's ear. I have an E30 hood with cracked paint - without it being smooth, I presume it would either 1) show the bad areas through the film, or 2) the cracked areas would eventually poke holes and slice the film. If I grind away the paint in those areas and rattle can some primer, would that do it?

What's the difference with washing these? ~nooby question~

Would think ideally would be to sand down the hood to make it smooth, and then go from there.

That's correct. You want it as smooth as possible. The material is about the same thickness as paint. So if it is uneven, imaging just spray painting on top of that. If it'll show through if you were to spray paint it, it'll show through if you were to vinyl wrap it.

Nothing different, just regular car soap and water.

I had this new white Mercedes Benz C class coupe come by to have me wrap his chrome/brushed aluminum window trim in my gloss black vinyl material. He wanted to go with the gloss black to match the glass panoramic roof and to also match the B pillars on the door, which were also gloss black already from the factory. I should have taken the after pictures of it outside so you guys can get a better view/look, but for some reason this time I took the pictures of the car inside. The owner of this car was from around Buena Park and drove out to me in Anaheim Hills/Orange County to get the work done. I have a lot of guys ask me if they should go with matte or gloss black on their window trims, so hopefully this will help those of you out trying to figure what to go with.

+1!!!! Also a price becuse i dont care too look through all 21 pages.

[Don Nguyen]

Price is going to vary between car to car on what you want to wrap, what finish you want, etc.

I vinyl wrapped both the roof of this car and his window trim in my gloss black vinyl material. However, I am just going to post pictures of the roof done for now. I'll post pictures of the gloss black vinyl wrapped window trim that I also did on this car later. You can still sort of make out the gloss black window trim in the pictures, for those who were considering on doing both and weren't sure which finish to go with on the window trim with their gloss black vinyl'd roofs.

This time around, I went with a lighter shade than the usual shade that I have used in the past for when I tinted/smoked head lights/tail lights. I chose this shade to closer match a tint/shade that you would expect to see as a dealer or factory option. I basically would describe this as an OEM+ look. For those who are familiar, it's similar to the blackline tail lights that BMW offers or the Porsche tail lights that come from the factory with the clear portion tinted/smoked already. Hopefully you guys will be able to get a good idea of how this shade looks like on these tail lights from the pictures that I took. Let me know if you guys want any specific angles or more pictures and I'll see what I can do.

Left factory - Right tinted


Both tinted/smoked






Tinted/smoked - after


Tinted/smoked - before

quote me a 24x36 piece of gloss black vinyl shipped to 44601, just enough to do a sunroof panel.

PM sent.

Here are some pictures of a new black BMW F10 5 series that I vinyl'd the chrome window trim with my matte black material to resemble the BMW factory shadowline trim look. I had some people ask for some closer up pictures of the wrap around the edges, so here they are. Let me know if you guys have any questions or other picture requests.
