Don Nguyen | Gloss black vinyl'd roof pictures on some M45s

[Don Nguyen]

I am a new vendor (I do vinyl installations/sell materials/etc) on the forum and I just wanted to share some pictures of these M45s that I have worked on in the past.

Here's a darker gray/gunmetal colored M45 that I vinyl wrapped the roof in my gloss black material. The owner of this car was around the Long Beach area. Even on a darker colored car, the gloss black vinyl roof actually still accents the entire the car very well. Especially on this car, with its black rims. We decided to leave the roof rails chrome, and it actually turned out looking very nice that way. It looks as if the car came like this from the factory/dealer.

It was a hot day, so don't mind the water streaks on the roof/vinyl in some of the pictures.













Let me know what you guys think.

thanks.

Here's another one.

I don't get too many cars of this color coming by to get their roofs done, so it's a nice change of pace. I wrapped this Infiniti M45's roof with my gloss black vinyl material. On a darker colored car like this, the gloss black roof gives it a very nice subtle touch. Although it's still noticeable, it is not as large as a contrast as it would be on a white car. A black roof may make a BMW more sportier looking, but on a car like this, it can also make the car look more "elegant" or lux as well. This car was from around the Costa Mesa/Orange County area.

I was actually trying to find pictures of your car. I know I have it somewhere. I'll post it up once I find it. I am trying to plan another trip up to norcal, maybe during spring break or something. What finish did you want for the 7 series?

Trying to gauge if there is any interest in this flat black vinyl finish. I haven't posted pictures of this finish/material before, but I recently had a someone ask if I had something that was flatter than my matte black vinyl material. So, who's interested?

Flat black is on the left and matte black is on the right:

I know some of you are more of the visual type, so in addition to black roofs, I also black out chrome pieces such as chrome window trims, like on this car.

I had this new white Mercedes Benz C class coupe come by to have me wrap his chrome/brushed aluminum window trim in my gloss black vinyl material. He wanted to go with the gloss black to match the glass panoramic roof and to also match the B pillars on the door, which were also gloss black already from the factory. I should have taken the after pictures of it outside so you guys can get a better view/look, but for some reason this time I took the pictures of the car inside. The owner of this car was from around Buena Park and drove out to me in Anaheim Hills/Orange County to get the work done. I have a lot of guys ask me if they should go with matte or gloss black on their window trims, so hopefully this will help those of you out trying to figure what to go with.

This time around, I went with a lighter shade than the usual shade that I have used in the past for when I tinted/smoked head lights/tail lights. I chose this shade to closer match a tint/shade that you would expect to see as a dealer or factory option. I basically would describe this as an OEM+ look. For those who are familiar, it's similar to the blackline tail lights that BMW offers or the Porsche tail lights that come from the factory with the clear portion tinted/smoked already. Hopefully you guys will be able to get a good idea of how this shade looks like on these tail lights from the pictures that I took. Let me know if you guys want any specific angles or more pictures and I'll see what I can do.

Left factory - Right tinted


Both tinted/smoked

Here are some pictures of a new black BMW F10 5 series that I vinyl'd the chrome window trim with my matte black material to resemble the BMW factory shadowline trim look. I had some people ask for some closer up pictures of the wrap around the edges, so here they are. Let me know if you guys have any questions or other picture requests.

...clean work Don. The blacked out window trim looks really good....

[RockerHappyFeller]

can you do a clear vinyl wrap for my front hood and headlights like the FX trucks?

[RockerHappyFeller]

for a m45 sport of course......

[Don Nguyen]

Sorry, I do not do clear bras on paint. However, I can do it for your headlights. Send me an e-mail if you're interested.

[bejjutsu]

Do you have any pictures of an M wrapped in matte black?

How much does it cost to wrap the roof in gloss black in NYC???
I was just quoted $450 (name of the body shop: Oneighty in Brooklyn)
I think Its way too high.

That what i think its too high. Many people say its a good shop but $450 for roof wrap. No way. I would rather hire Freddie and do it with him

Now that's funny

don't worry Jersey will be cheaper

[robert_4.5_S]

I hope Jersey will be cheaper. And of course better quality since your dash looks perfect

[06M4.5]

Let me know the price they give you.

[robert_4.5_S]

Let me know the price they give you.
