Wrapping my roof on my own. What do I need? Advice MUCH appreciated!

Hey everyone, so as you may know, I'm doing a full out F-35 build. Stealthed out Mineral Grey.

I want to wrap my roof myself. I design space vehicles, my buddy builds them. He's a Manufacturing Engineer. He's amazing with this stuff, so he's going to help me.

But he's never wrapped a car.

What do I need? Any recommendations?

I am going to go with the 3M gloss black wrap. My biggest question is, what size sheet do I get?

Thank you all!

I don't know but come over and do mine when you're done.


Are you getting a full xpel stealth wrap (minus roof)?

Has anyone used this stuff and wrapped their own car? I'm sure 2 rolls would be enough and a Silver M2 would be pretty snappy.

You will be fine! Just snag a nice heat gun. Strip the wax and Clean with alcohol. A nice felt covered bondo scrapper works wonders
