E36 Roof vinyl DIY!!!!1!!!!!
OMG!
Step Uno... With awesome form and dedication wash the vehicluar, in this case, an E36 325is leaving the specimen squeaky clean to the point where you can't directly stare at it in direct sunlight...  Step Dos... Obtain an empty spray bottle and empty it...  Fill it up with water and add a smidgen of hand soap...shake vigorously for 7 to 190 minutes to mix thoroughly... Label thusly...  Step Tree... Take your vinyl and with swift hands lay that sh*t down...  Step Floor... Take your soap n' water and spray the roof liberally to prevent sticking...  Step Fyve... Realize you were supposed to take the white paper off first and get it wet making it stick to the vinyl when you peel it off... Take a credit card, assume the position, and start removing as much as possible while mouthing a few curse words...  Step Sicks... When you're done getting the white paper off...respray the roof with soap and re-apply vinyl..  stStep Slevin... Apply squeegy working your way from the middle to the out...  Step Ate... With precise precision and ultra sharp razor blade, trim the excess vinyl...  Perfect form is a must...  Step Nein... Almost done  Step 10... Fail at getting the ends to stick leaving you with Evo Style spoilers...  Step 11... Initiate test drive mode...   LOL at the flapping vinyl...   Step 12... With hand, re-apply vinyl...  Step 13... Accept defeat and peel off vinyl, crumple into spherical shape and apply onto roof.  Step 14... While eating Pita Chips...contemplate deeply (DEEEPLY) on how much fail that was...  YAY! The End... Love, -R

good write up!!
I see that you attempted this by yourself, to do this project right you need more hands as many as you can get... I vinyled my brothers protege about a month ago, it turned out okay, and even then I accepted defeat

I am still going to try this soon. Why didn't you guys use that window tint stuff? It dries a lot faster.

Nothing like some Pita chips and fail with some Palmolive to wash it all down.
FTW.
