F4LLEN328 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2009 Hey Guys, looking for some advice on the best route to take to black the roof, same as attached picture. Do i paint it, risking a potential eyesore that cant be easily reversed. Or do i vinyl, but with a lucklustre finish? There is also the option to Carbon fibre vinyl, but im already thinking this idea is going to look obviously fake and not a good idea. If i paint, do i go simple gloss black or a bmw black. And who would you recommend to do a good job without breaking the bank. Refer here for chop -> Possible style for F4LLEN? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uhlsta 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2009 I reckon if you want it black you should go with vinyl, cause you can always peel it off in the end. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, thats what i was thinking, but what are the finishes like these days? Will it be as nice as a freshly painted clearcoat on a gloss black? Also, who does this kind of vinyl in Auckland?

uhlsta 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) You could get a Printed Black vinyl with a high gloss over laminate or just normal black vinyl ant get in laminated with a high gloss. Pretty much just about any good signwriter can do it, look for the ones that specialise in car wraps! We do them.

3 SERIES 92 Report post Posted September 6, 2009 Id go the vinyl option. As said, easier to remove if you didnt like or got sick of it. Best bet is to go to you local signwriter. They can talk you thru the various options/finishes available. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
uhlsta 0 Report post Posted September 6, 2009 (edited) You're looking at around about $165+gst per sqm for Printed with lam, and about 120+gst for normal vinyl with lam. You could always rock round and we could do some testers for you! Edited September 6, 2009 by FleXturE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Simon* Report post Posted September 7, 2009 Shelly? I'd run it by Shelley too - she'll have a good idea of what the finish will be like (M325is) She did Ollie's and other racecars' signage too to give you an idea of the quality of her work Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
