Hi Gang
Happy New Year all! My dumb decision to buy a house without a garage to keep the old girl happy has my 1994 under about 200 pounds of snow ( I have a good cover so I'm not worried ).

I'm writing to see if anyone knows if there is a company that sells vinyl wraps or spray on/peel off paint so that I can make my ugly, faded, oxidized targa roof match the color of my vette? My vette is the Black Rose Metallic, and I would love to match the roof to the body.

Any leads are appreciated! This forum has helped me get my baby running like a champ, and now she deserves a makeover.

Thanks

Just do a "scuff & buff" of the targa top - not much work at all - matching black rose in "wrap" material will be a challenge.

Go to automotive paint store and get a spray bomb match in a can. Sand, spray, wetsand, buff...done!

I had my painted targa wrapped. It's wrapped in black carbon fiber for $70. I just did it for a change.

that wrapped targa top looks good... I have a black rose vette also with the tinted top... wondering if I should wrap that as it does have imperfections...hmmmmmm

i i just purchased some 3m carbon wrap and will be doing my top with it soon, most likely will do it my self ,,it does not look too hard to do.

I have already carbon fiber wrapped almost all my interior and though maybe the roof would be cool then also...what do you think

I vinyl wrapped the piece on top of the door, arm rests and the door sills. I also wrapped the custom rear deck for the stereo and the center console. I think I'm done with the carbon fiber....The pictures aren't that great.

I have been thinking about wrapping my clear top as well. It's all hazed/crazed, and I know I could buff and polish it up again. But my main goal is actually to block the sun - it gets really hot! My car is torch red, but I am looking at "black chrome" color for the top. I think that would look the most like the factory tint on it right now, and it should reflect more sun/heat than flat black or the carbon fiber look. I really like the carbon fiber idea too, but I just think that a near-flat-black would absorb a lot of heat.

Anybody tried this color yet, or have any pics of someone who did (on any car)? I haven't had any real luck finding pics. Also, has anyone bought the wrap and done the job themselves?
