The dream came true… Panorama opened =)) — Toyota Avensis, 1.8 liter, 2008

for almost half a year I wanted to make myself a "panoramic" roof with the help of a film ... then at first the film I needed was not available, then the mail did not carry notices to my house, but to a neighboring one (their eyes grow from the wrong place), but having overcome all the obstacles, the film ended up in my crayfish =)))

I invited my girlfriend to the garage, I thought for a couple of hours =)))

But in the end we did the roof for 5 hours without interruption ...
Sorry, but there are no pictures of the process itself, it was not before =))

But meet the preliminary photos of my car with a black glossy roof =) the weather is not very dirty yet, and some additions will be coming soon =)

Here I dug out one photo from the process =)) we stuff the film under the lobach ... the method suggested by someone from the drive =))) we take plastic cards, insert them under the elastic band to stuff the film and push it in, warm it up with a hairdryer and smooth it out ...

no, I didn’t say =))) but now she fully understood what effort it takes to work on the car =))) whether it’s pasting, painting or anything else…

now at least I fell in love with the car, otherwise I used to swear =))) there are pluses, as the Matroskin cat said, joint work, it unites =)))

Thank you, Mish =))) I’m definitely not going to touch the hood and trunk ... of course I want to, but I won’t =))) to add a twist, otherwise it became a little dark =)

somebody 21.01.22

Abaldennoo!) Great! class! Well done! I look like that and it seems to me that we need mirrors in the same black! and possibly the top panel of the trunk lid before bending! and you can central stamping on the hood! but you have to think about it!

I would stick myself on the starboard side (opposite the gas tank hatch) some kind of golden small thin curl)

Well done! Why is there 50 I think 51!

D
DemseR 21.01.22

film KPMF 88000 black gloss ... lays down perfectly, the jambs are all removed, whether it be folds or bubbles due to the thickness of the film ... so everything is fine, I hope it will last 50 years =)))

s
slogman 21.01.22

Great! What's the film? No bubbles?

D
DemseR 21.01.22

I’m also thinking the other day to do exactly the same thing =))) I’m still undecided with the drawing, so I’ll finish off the remnants of the film =))

S
SimSimSim 21.01.22

I’ll roll up the mirrors on the weekend)) we rolled the remnants of the film from the roof, but there wasn’t enough, so we stuck it and looked at how it looks (by the way, awesome) and took it off in the evening

D
DemseR 21.01.22

I'm glad I did =)) there is someone to take an example from, so I strive =)))

the roof turned out perfectly with + =))) already several people who glued the vinyl made a compliment - what he did awesome, so nice =))) KPMF88000 film, which is used for full wrapping of cars ...

a
anton not 21.01.22

And the roof turned out well, I really like it! And what kind of film, tint or regular vinyl?

D
DemseR 21.01.22

always sorry! I'll help you as much as I can =)

thanks again

costs a thousand rubles, a film of 2 thousand is the thickest and most expensive = 3 thousand … we have a roof on Avensis worth 6 thousand rubles … the benefit is obvious even with the purchase of a hair dryer! + a lot of buzz that he did =)

A
Adlet 21.01.22

ok, ATP, but I'm afraid it will be problematic prom. hair dryer seek

D
DemseR 21.01.22

no home =) it will not give the desired temperature and will burn quickly 100%! if you take an expensive and thick film, which is specially for the full pasting of cars, then nothing will happen to it!

A
Adlet 21.01.22

ok, thanks for the detailed answer. And does it deteriorate over time? Vsmysle does not burn out or is not scratched? Do you need an industrial hair dryer or will a simple home hair dryer work?

D
DemseR 21.01.22

Make it real! professionals, those who have made more than one hundred cars, all other amateurs ... those who have made less than 20-30 cars, beginners ... that's my opinion! in our city, everyone is a maximum of amateurs and did not see the point in giving them a car for marriage ...

Yes, and I like to do everything myself + the price of the current for the film I want!

it is unrealistic to make a roof 500% alone, you need two or three of us! the technology is not difficult, I advise you to read the forums and watch the video tutorials!

easy to remove - much easier than gluing ... everything is done with a hair dryer!

we take hands, a hair dryer, soapy water and a film, one friend or two! and with squeegee in hand we do what we want =)

Adlet 21.01.22

Hello, I would like to cover the roof with foil too. Therefore, a few questions: is it difficult to “stretch” it yourself, or is it better to give it to the masters? I heard that glossy scratches quickly, is that so? And how difficult is it to remove? Together with the film, the paint on the roof will not peel off?

Glebon 21.01.22

It turned out to be a cool roof) By the way, your wheels are almost like mine) What company?

D
DemseR 21.01.22

we tried together for about 5 hours probably in a row =) we try not to do bad things, but sometimes the jambs come out due to inexperience =) the Atom Racer disk company seems to be like this =) your 4Go as far as I can see ... I thought to take such, but in the end I refused =)

D
DemseR 21.01.22

looks even cooler with a white mat =) the film is the thickest and most expensive at that time ... oracal 970 as far as I remember ...

Alexey181 21.01.22

It was awesome!
I have been dreaming of doing this for a long time. About 3 months ago, my girlfriend and I tried all evening to seal the roof with the cheapest Oracal, but it didn’t work out. :( Need a better film probably
