Vinyl Roof Wrap Recommendations

I need a roof wrap redone on my third GEN Tacoma.. Any recommendations in Southern California?

 

Hit up https://www.instagram.com/evostudiosoc/ they do a great job in wraps and do a quick turn around!

 

Thanks

 

I truly don't understand, why do you have a roof wrap? Nobody can see it, it doesn't help with any reflections. Practically only you and the helicopter police will see it?

 

You actually do see it .. unless your blind af.. it’s to protect the paint of the roof.. so I guess it serves 2 purposes

 

1. to protect the paint
2. To cover failing clear coat
3. Color change.
4. His truck, he can do what ever he wants and your opinion doesn’t matter.

 

Well, thanks for clearing that up.

 

You can do it yourself, especially if you are only doing the roof. Hey, I had no idea of how to do wrapping, at all, but I had to look at it because of my wife's 1996 RAV4, which was in desperate need of help! It had been painted several times, each time, lasting less than the paint job before. I was pretty disgusted about it, and was looking around, when I remembered that people get their cars "wrapped". I then went to the place that has all information, "Youtube", and found a vinyl company called Vvivid Vinyl. There are a multitude of videos out there, that show how to wrap a vehicle. After watching many videos on it, I convinced myself that I could wrap my wife's RAV4 myself, and at least, do as good of a job as the previous paint jobs. Well, I ordered my vinyl from Amazon actually, but it was Vvivid vinyl, as they have an Amazon page too. Anyway, it was cheaper to get it from amazon, than direct from Vvivid Vinyl. I admit to spending several hours doing the whole thing, but in the end, it looked then, and still looks now, FANTASTIC! The ROOF was actually the best and EASIEST area to do, because it was basically a straight shot, with only slight curves. A Tacoma roof should be very easy to do, from my experience with this RAV4. I am just putting this out there, as an option. Wrapping is expensive if you have to pay someone else to do it! Good luck! Oh, by the way, I actually videotaped my whole experience in wrapping my wife's RAV4 and it is on youtube. It came out that well, well enough to post it! Here is the link [I should have put this link in when I first posted this! Oh well...] https://youtu.be/W2Ofb1TRI20

 

Link?

 

I knew I should have included a link! I am not monetized either. Sorry about that! Here it is: https://youtu.be/W2Ofb1TRI20

 

You can't tease us with a YouTube video and not put up the link!!!

Anyway, nice video! I wish I knew this was an option when I rattle canned my Tacoma

 

That's how I painted this RAV4 the last time it was painted! I figured I couldn't do any worse than the previous people who painted it, so I painted it with spray cans of paint. It actually came out pretty good, and I and the wife, were happy with it. The problem though, was that it did not last, and about it year later, was when it was so bad that I was looking at options and came across the idea of wrapping it. Best thing I have done! The wife told me though, when I was wrapping it, that I should just do the best I could, and that she was not expecting perfection. I told her, "don't worry, it won't be perfect", and it isn't. BUT, it is dang sure better than it was, and now, 8 months later, it still look good and WAY better than it did!

 

Thanks I really appreciate the feedback and video.. if I have any questions I’ll reach out.. good looking out

 

OK. and glad you liked the video. The reason I mentioned it in the first place, was because the roof was actually the best and easiest part of my wrapping my wife's RAV4. In just looking at the small roof on the Tacoma, well, that would be even easier!

 

First I gotta remove the old existing wrap, that should be fun.. clean it then attempt to try a DIY the wrap myself

 

I'm looking at it for reason #2. F'ing cheap ass Toyota paint. My roof looks like chalk.

 

yes. Reason #2 was my main reason too!
