Anyone Have A Black Roof?

[t_j]

@t_j How many cans of dip did you use for your roof? How many coats did you end up with?

It took about 3.5 cans for a scab with sunroof. As for coats I think 6 or so light coats with a thicker on at the end. It was drying quick enough that I could just go around the truck continually until I finished.

Thanks for the quick reply, I was close, I guessed 4. Good to hear, I already have the spray gun from dipping my busa so I may get a gallon of it.... I'm sure I can find other uses for the leftover black.

I have guns but I went with cas as I can buy those in the local store and I wanted to just get it done rather than wait on shipping.

Very true, plus no shipping. It was $20 for shipping for 2gal of black. I'll just wait and order it along with the new color when I'm ready.... I have a few things I need to finish in the shop before I tackle a new project.

Thought I'd share this regarding a wrap of a roof 2012 and older. The roof has structural indents which don't hold the wrap very well.

Over time the vinyl wraps shrink, causing this area to slightly lift. Then I imagine that water lays in here and freezes in the winter causing the wrap to crack.





My roof is like this all the way across. I tried to take a close up pic so you can see what has happened.

The black roof makes the truck badass.

Thanks for the heads up Joe! That happening would have never crossed my mind. Plasti-Dip it is!

@Stealthf1 how much did it cost to get your tailgate wrapped?

Hey bud, I couldn't tell you. I had the whole truck wrapped satin white and black.

Ordered 2gal Plasti-Dip to do the roof, bumpers and fenders... and 4gal extra of a different color to do the rest of the truck. Hopefully it'll get here by the weekend.

This is good info. Thanks for sharing.
