Looking to vinyl my roof?

UNKNOWN_370 · 05-11-2012, 12:57 AM

My biggest worry would be covering the roof may make the paint fade unevenly. So when you remove the vinyl, the paint may look faded compared to the rest of the car due to uneven sun exposure and not being able to keep up with maintenence of your paint/ckear on the roof?

I'm not sure that would happen? But that would be my main concern.

Wow thats a great point, my roof would be super white n my other parts would look faded... My car is in the garage literally 85% of the week. But still something to consider, thx

I had some lesser brand on my accord roof for about a year and a half and it came off in one sheet leaving a tiny bit of sticky residue behind but nothing to worry about... As for fading i highly doubt that would be an issue especially for someone who says their car is in the garage 85% of the time... I replaced mine with the matte black 3m di-noc stuff and its pretty nice and holding up much better than the old stuff ... I also recently put some vinyl on the gfs 370 ... She also wanted a glossy look so we just got some stuff from sticker-city.com ... Its been like 2 months and its holding up pretty well.. Still a shame 3m didnt have gloss

. Have u seen the carbon fiber stuff 3m has? Looks real as ****
