I ordered a roll of the 3M 1080 Carbon fiber gloss Black wrap. If it goes well I post the results if not it's Black Paint.

Well I'm not certain this is a everyone DIY but it done. If I had the time and material I'd do it over. It took a 60" X 60" piece. I bought 60"X 72" piece and the first piece was awful so I took it off



The top took 39.5" X 37.5"




2 pieces 18" X 46" Started a 8:30 AM done at 3:00 PM

If I were to make an observation on the carbon fiber film. It would be better to practice on a regular film first, This is heavy and does not want to mold well. It wanted to wrinkle very quickly because the roof crowns both way and the material wants to pucker as you get to the corners.
