After the second coat, you can layer on heavier coats ... put on like 4-5+ coats if you can.

for wrapping the roof you should try http://www.shinzomedia.com/
they did a couple of cars taht I know of and the CF wrap is still holding up perfect after 2 years.

The 3m carbon fiber is much thicker then the 'colored' wraps, that's why I am getting my roof done in it (I get a few stone right over the front windshield. The rest is going to be glossy black. I was tolled that the carbon wrap is not recommended for really tight, and small curves (like the antenna shark fin) as it has a tendency to want to peel off and retain its original form.
shinzomedia.com/ no longer does automotive wraps.
I have everything priced out with restyleit.ca, just waiting for an open Saturday to get it done.

Re: Yuriy's 'Blue Devil'; mustang gt
Yeah the carbon wrap isn't the best for tight curvy stuff. Its not standing up well at all on my bumpers :( I'm hoping I can get it in to Graphiti as soon as there is a few good clear days to get it rewrapped. They said they will do that for me but they'll have to do it in sections, a seamless fit wont work unfortunatly.

If the weather is going to hold up as they promise, I am going to get my car done Tuesday or Wednesday.

Re: Yuriy's 'Blue Devil'; mustang gt
for sure, but I want to get my rims ready at the same time....only thing missing is the damn door handles, those need the chrome sanded off and paint matches to my car.

^Exactly, imo chrome doesnt belong on tuner styled rides.

Re: Yuriy's 'Blue Devil'; mustang gt
ok....
Peeling off plasti dip from 32 pieces; not fun.
Realizing how many man hours to sand/scuff the chrome from every piece; even less fun.
Solution, someone plasti dip em for me; I'll supply the plasti dip, and I'll take you out for food and booze.
Any volunteers?

Re: Yuriy's 'Blue Devil'; mustang gt
ok....its done.
they wrapped my roof in carbon fiber, black vinyl on shark fin, and all chrome other then my door handles. looks pretty sexy. they where also cool with putting my new grill in for me, debadging my rear logos, and black plasti dip my read 'H' logo.
for the roof they took off all the black plastic molding (around the roof) so that they can tuck it all in, and took my shark fin off for the wrap. took about 3-4 hours.
I only have cellphone picks of my car so I don't wanna upload them here, but you can see them on my FB page, just look up 'Yuriy' in TTS group and add me.
For the real kicker....I took my car to the dealer today, because it was 'sqiucking' in the rear left suspension when you rocked/pushed on the car. They convinced me that it was the hand break, and that it was part of maintenance not warranty work (fair enough).
To get to the hand break line and such on my car you gotta unbolt the rear control arms and some other things....away when they unbolted the rear left control arm...a piece of it broke off. Control arm being a SINGLE forged piece of steel alloy, so yeah happy times.
Lucky (really???) for me Hyundai had only one left in stock....its going to be shipped on Tuesday, until then I am rocking the Elantra Touring and no they didn't give me the red one again.
To be fair this is really the first actual warrant work, as before it was the cold weather + mods making my car go crazy.

Re: Yuriy's 'Blue Devil'; mustang gt
I went to restyleit.ca, they also offered a discount for club members, I pmed our hard working sponsor corespondent about that already
when I went there he was just finishing off a CTS coupe in flat purple (full car wrap) and everything else blacked out...looked so hot.
I guess I'll upload my cellphone pics.

I'll have good pics after I get my car back from the dealer, unless you want some hd pics of a blue Elantra Touring with hub caps.

Re: Yuriy's 'Blue Devil'; mustang gt
They charged me $600 I gave him an extra $40 (he didn't ask for it) for putting on my new grill, debadgeing the rear, and plasti dip the rear 'H' logo. For reference (not bashing them), graphiti gave me a rough quote of $1000, no grill swapping, no debadging, and wanted my car for a whole day.
