Vinyl wrapping my roof...good or bad idea?

ok sweet will do thanks

 

how many cans did you use, you have no idea how many times I have thought of doing that

 

That's plastiderp? Wtf....

I like it.

 

Yo memario, that black vinyl wrap sets off your Taco just right brutha. Dig it

Knine - I think it'd look pretty good.

 

I plastiderped my valence... not hating on it .

Never thought of doing the entire roof.

 

I just think in NC it would make your truck hot as balls in August but I do think it looks good. My wife was in that business before we started a family. The best vinyl available is only guaranteed for 7 or 8 years, but the color is only probably good for 2 she said. It's different on a roof or hood than the sides because obviously they are always in the sun, at least the sides get some relief. No matter what, the sun and weather is going to murder it. For like $6 a can that plastidip looks awesome. I'm all for your idea, just against doing it in vinyl.

 

Couldn't agree more. Plus a black roof on a white truck will look sick in my opinion.

 

well if its got a guarantee then I am good right?

 

I think it's a guarantee it won't peel. Not that it won't fade. Just make sure you look into that. Some of the guarantees are application specific because of situations like this. One thing you got going for you is that it's a pretty simple install so it shouldn't cost a lot. You could probably easily pull it off yourself.

 

Do what you like personally i think it matters on the color of truck and what look your going for.....on lifted off road trucks I think it is kind of clashing but thats my opinion. On your truck it would look good especially with thy white. I would definitely go matte finish though.

With regard to paint I believe the OP meant would the trucks paint fade more on the uncovered parts than the roof covered in vinyl. I hope he wouldn't consider painting the roof as that would be a stupid move in terms of the trucks future value. To answer his question the paint shouldn't fade in the life of the vinyl especially seeing as your truck is white it would be very hard to tell.

 

just go with a matte black paint. Im having mine done this weekend on my 12 superwhite. ill try and post something when its done.

 

I doubt painting the roof would drop the value down that much, if at all depending on the buyer. There are people like my dad who just don't pay attention or give a shit about stuff like that. My mom and I bought him rims for X-mas years ago, we decided to let him notice them. He didn't notice that his rims changed till we said something (we are talking over a month). When we told him it was 'oh, I thought something was different'

As my mom says "different strokes for different folks"

 

Sweet thanks

 

Well if u vinyl it you can later remove it if you don't want it anymore...

 

That crap will not be put on my trucks paint in anyway...

 

100%

 

Have the 3M matte black vinyl on my front bumper. Been 6 months, no rock chips, fading, tears ect. It gives really nice results, takes a lot of work/knowlage to apply. Plastic dip will eventually fade becuase it is just a rubberised coating. The vinyls are coated to protect against fading.

 

I say go for it I love my carbon wrap.

 

Im doing mine next week and going with thr matte Grey and wish to see some others around done. Share some pics please!
