Default Place in Socal to Blackout Roof?

Can anyone recommend a place in Socal to blackout the roof with a nice gloss black Vinyl? Don't really care where in Socal since i'm always all over Socal nowadays lol

Or if anyone knows a place that can do a good price on paint, let me know too! I wanted to do paint originally but everywhere i go is super expensive.

Thanks !

I believe my buddy paid around $250. He's got a 335i though and is not much for negotiating.

I was thinking about just using some vinyl I have lying around to try and do it myself. I feel like if I put together two rolls side by side it would work out nice. The super tiny overlap in the center of the roof would probably be so minute that it's worth the $50 for two rolls of vinyl.

But post if some quotes if you end up doing it! Good luck

So far the best deal is from www.downshiftgraphics.com (thanks Kentaro)

Please don't PM me asking me how much tho, it's a quote for multiple things so i can't tell you, best bet is to call the number and ask

Anyone got any places with good deals on PAINT so i can compare?

I'd also consider AeroTect. They do fine work, competitive pricing, and have great customer service from their front desk all the way to Francisco and Jason working on the rides.

Promax didn't do it, its someone else that works out of there shop. Javy referred me to them and even gives a 1 year warrantee if anything happens.

Do not use downshift graphics. The work was less than acceptable and they don't stand by their work and don't return phone calls. You get what you pay for. Aerotect is a better bet.
