Does this look similar enough to Bmw tundra.
Plan to wrap MY BABY in Golf 070 - thoughts?

Dollars to donuts, Scott, it's likely less expensive to repair & repaint the roof. Check out either The Werk Shop in Chicgoland or Vintage Sports & Restoration in Bedford NH, vsr1.com
It's like covering an old house with vinyl siding to hide the work it needs. If you want a quick fix, just put vinyl on the roof?

Pretty similar, yes. One of the fun things about tundra is that it looks different in different light!
Scott,
I'd be interested it what kind of prep will be required. Glass stays in, will bumpers and all trim be coming off?.
I'm dreaming of Atlantik Blau over my marine blue interior.

i'm sure you could do either ... but, the look over time will be much different. IMHO - if you don't remove the belt trim, all the grilles, door hardware, rear lights, roundels / badges its just not going to have a long-term / quality look.
your polaris to atlantik will have the opposite issue that Scott would have - instead of black around the inner surfaces of the doors, you would have silver ... that will jump out at you. just think of how that silver is going to shine through the visible openings in the front grilles.

Good point. Roof was already "repaired" poorly with vinyl, and could be improved if done properly, but there are a few other spots showing some need of repair, which would be much harder to do with vinyl, but not horrible. But all in, a change of color would be nice at this time. I know that ultimately a bare metal restore is needed, but can kick that can down for awhile.
In terms of prep: "As for the moldings and chrome. I looked over the vehicle closely and only the parts I listed in the previous email need to be removed. The gaskets around the front and rear windshields are loose enough to pull back and tuck the vinyl underneath. I'm assuming they are fairly new and the original 1974 moldings or else they would be stiff and cracking. Already per-determined where I will make my seams since every panel on this car is one continuous panel. Like newer cars the fenders, the A-pillars, rear quarters are all separate panels. It will be time consuming, but nothing we can't handle."
I will ask installer what he intends to remove and report back. Any other considerations I should check before proceeding? thanks.
what about the drip rail along the edge of the roof (above the doors / side windows)? really curious how they will do the transitions from the front fenders up the A pillars and the C pillars down to the rear fenders. there will have to be a few seams which never look that good.
i would think the bumpers have to come off for ease of wrapping the vinyl around those panels.

Will provide to the Guy and Report back
