I'm looking at either professiobally wrapping my roof of DIY. Anyone in here did their own roof? If so could you please elaborate on it.

Haven't wrapped mine but have done some research on doing so.

For a beginner it appears that knifeless tape would be indispensable. You could at least keep a blade away from your paint as an amateur.

What looks to be the most tedious part is wrapping the side guards (sorry forgot what their called) and removing the shark fin antenna

If you have experience in wrapping/tinting, go for it! If not, let a professional do it.

I just tried mine and got a little messed up around the sunroof. I didnt stretch it perfectly so I ended up with some extra material that crinkled and couldnt get it right... 60.00 down for the first set of materials,,, I figure I will try it at least two more times before I will have to admit defeat and have it done by a Pro,,,, we were so close to being spectacular....

I did the clay bar prep myself so if I have to get it done professionally maybe they will give me a break on the prep work....

So you're gonna try two more time b4 possibly paying someone to do this. U know u will spend about $360 AT LEAST of u decided to go that route. I never done a whole roof b4. I would love to DIY but I don't wanna risk it.

If you were interested in materials, I can sell you guys the vinyl materials to wrap your roof with. The materials I use are rated to last 12 years and can include some DIYs to help you out with the install as well. Message me or e-mail me at Don@WannabeRacer.com if you had any questions.

I bought a 2nd piece of the 3M glossy black film and tried again. It did not come out perfect but it is still sexy. I had a couple of small wrinkles I just couldn't work out but it looks perfect to the casual observer and I am keeping it on... I would say that this might be about as good as I can do being a non-professional... those little wrinkles can happen really easy... Getting a good stretch on the material would probably allow heat to shrink out the wrinkles but stretching a large piece like this and then handling it is where I think I could use much more practice in order to have a chance @ total perfection. It doesn't photograph very well as it is so reflective, but here it is... Now I just have to black out the silver window trim around the back glass and the windshield to finish the blacked out look...
