#1: 'Roof' opinions. Author: devildriverxii, Location: Stevenage PostPosted: Sat Mar 17, 2012 3:33 am

I have no idea what has happened to the paint on my roof, but it looks horrible...

 


I mean the grey bits, it looks like the paint has started flaking off, it looks worse because I had to smoosh the rain off.

Any suggestion on what I can do to cover it up? I don't want to use a touch up stick, and I think it's beyond t-cutting.

I was thinking of just buying a huge sheet or carbon fibre wrap and doing the whole roof in that.

Any thoughts?

Is carbon wrapping difficult? I'm not expecting it to be easy, but I don't want to make it look worse =D

a hair dryer will be fine mate, however doing large parts like a roof will take for ever and may need a heat gun for speed tbh

Carbon wrapping can be both hard an easy but to do a roof youl need 2 people maybe even 3 just to make sure the wrap has been placed on correctly with no bubbles or wrong angle, heat gun is a must and you must have patience as its not the best thing to rush

When I did my mates roof I orders 1 an a half metres width by 2 metre length just to allow space for correction

Think you can see why an assistant or 2 could be useful.
