Default Don Nguyen | Gloss black vinyl wrapped roof - Silver 370z

Not exactly sure the name of the color of this 370z, but the color looked silver. Either way, I vinyl wrapped the roof of this car in my gloss black material. The owner drove from Los Angeles county to me in Orange County to the roof wrapped. The curves of the roof really help make the gloss black roof pop and stand out a bit more. The owner of this car plastidip his antenna in the matte black finish. So this is good for those who wanted to get gloss black roofs and wanted to plastidip their antennas. I believe plastidip has a gloss black version out now that'd probably work better.











Some of the plastidip peeled off/up a bit when installing the vinyl. Tip of advice, plastidip the antenna after the roof is wrapped, instead of plastidipping i tbeforehand.

That looks nice, I wouldn't want it out here in Vegas but it definately looks good on the silver.

I can see that. Must be bad for all black cars out there.

How durable is the vinyl? Does it scratch easy? Can you polish and wax?
The Z looks cool. Been wanting to do that to my G but I dont want the roof looking all scratched up after a couple months.

The material is fairly durable. It is softer than paint, but at the same time, it's not going to scratch up so much that you'd have to take it off in a couple of months. I've had some guys have theirs on their cars for almost 3 years now without any issues.

You can't polish it, but you can wax it if you wanted.

Thanks Don. I was wondering because my clear bra is scratched. Looks kinda like a black car that hasn't been taken care of

That's not really a material issue as much as it is a user issue in that case. Similar to paint, if you don't care for it properly, anything will/can get scratched.

Thanks. It really adds another look to the car and still retains a fairly factory look for the car.
