As the title suggests, in the next week or two I will be wrapping my roof in gloss vinyl.
I have 3M 1080 gloss black vinyl, clay bar, vinyl squeegee, microfiber rags, and a heat gun. I have watched a few DIY's that basically contradict each other. It seems everyone has their own method of wrapping with vinyl. Is there a best practices that trained installers follow?
Anyone that has done this themselves DIY'ers or Professionals please chime in with pointers and tips, as I will be trying this myself rather then farming out to a tint / wrap shop.
My plan of attack is to remove antenna, clay and prep surface of roof, stretch vinyl over whole roof, start in center and work one side down from front to back of roof, repeat on other side, tuck in and clean up edges. Please tell me if I am way off or about to do this backwards, like lubing up after finishing the deed...
I have seen some spray down the roof with water as they position the vinyl, like a tint job, where as i have seen others position and fit vinyl dry... Is one method better than another?
Thanks for any Tips!!
