from my experience it depends on the material as long as the vinyl is really meant for wrapping then it should take you an hour max to wrap the roof because when you lay it all you do is stretch it over the roof (dry lay) and the material has lil tiny pores to release the air bubbles so you just press them out

now if the material is just regular vinyl it took me 3-4 hours when i did my roof with regular vinyl which i bought for like 12 bucks at a sticker shop and hand cut my self on the edges.... if you use this kind of vinyl youll have to wet lay using soap and water so you can press out the air bubbles and stuff

make sure you dont forget to clean and clay the roof before you lay the overlay that way you wont have lil bumps from dirt that was stuck on the roof



pic of roof overlay on my car gloss black after a week it turned into a semi gloss black lol but what can you expect for 12 bucks right? haha
