Black Roof?

[Itsalauren]

I've seen someone with this and it looked amazing, though I can't find it now. Does anyone know if they use a solid graphic or painted it? I would think the paint would be more durable.

User Ferdie used black vinyl to cover his roof.

There may also have been another member or two that did this. I'm sure Ferdie or the others will chime in.

Yep, I believe it was black 3M vinyl that he had professionally installed and it looks badass!

 

[Ferdie]

I don't trust myself to try the whole roof lol, I'm going to try my decals and maybe the piece right below the back decal this weekend . . . well see how well(or not so well) that works out

I agree it can't be that hard. You wet the roof and squeegy out the vynol to all the edges, then trim carefully and shrink (heat) or stretch if needed. I have been considering this when I get home. I think silver cars and flat black roofs look great.

My only concern with that is how hard would it be to redo if messed up. Like I mentioned before I've never done it before so I'm still noobin.

 

[Itsalauren]

any opinions on doing the white part of the side mirrors??

 

[Ferdie]

There is some One here with a red sonic and he has also some black parts with 3m but IT was verry cheap

My roof cost me 220 euro's

But i have my chroom mirrors and black wheels and chevy logo
I think IT match good

My opinion is to leave them.

This may not answer your question, but I have read on other car forums about people who regularly change their vinyl. Apparently if you remove within a year or so your ok.

You might ask the vendor you are sourcing about this, as it appears your concern is more related to avoiding damage if you have to remove soon after applying, so I imagine if one can go a year and remove per plan than one should be able to go an hour or a day and remove to correct.
