TARTING UP THE AUTO ROOF

[Mark Elvin]

How are you removing the old stickers - mine are also looking bad, but what's still on there seems to be stuck pretty well. Any suggestions for best way to remove them?

Just peel at them, some Tardis tar remover helps soften the glue, as does some heat, but no matter how careful you are the paint comes away in places.

What colour are you going for.

How long do they need the vehicle.

Same colour as the lower body half, 3-4 hours to do the job.

I just need to hope the solar panel bond on brackets arrive in time so I can get them on before it's painted.

Do the company have a name for that colour, its the same colour I am looking for, or do the mix per code.

Thanks.

I believe they mix to match.

Obviously it's a different coating to paint, so there may be some variation in colour, but they said they can get it close enough that you'd not tell the difference.

Where are you having it done?

Where are you having it done?

The company is called Bristol Dip Designs, a friend of mine is having his entire pickup done there today, so I'll be able to see the workmanship before I commit finally.

That must be a big tank to dip that lot in

Just found a place near me that does Plasti dipping, ive asked for a quote.Mark E, can you post a picture of your roof after its been dipped please.

I've been considering plasti dip for the roof but I'm a bit worried about it being a bit fragile for low hanging branches, as it's removable I can imagine ripping it off driving through the country lanes near here.
Does the gloss finish make it more durable?

I've just had a look at my friends Nissan pickup he's had done, looks to be a pretty good job.
