3M or Avery vinyl wrap?

Looking to diy wrap my roof glossy black was wondering if anyone has any opinion on the quality of these two wraps. I'm leaning towards Avery as I heard its a lot easier to wrap then 3M.

I bet the difference isn’t very big, but a wrap is easier to revert back when you’re tired of it...

OT: I would go with avery since it’s a little easier to work with. They’re both a+ quality and both have good durability, so application is imo the only difference.

If you just want to do the roof and to do it properly, the difference is huge. Paint will prob run you $300-$600 vs vinyl about $80 for the material if you're planning to do yourself(5' x 6'/30 sq feet sheet) can't help on the labor cost part.

I'm not sure about 3M or Avery but I've only heard good things about Vivid.

The easiest is viviid wraps. Easier to handle easiest to conform. Avery and hexiis are some of the more difficult products to use.

+1 for Vvivid+ Im looking to do the same. I decided to get VVivid+ and order either a black or CF fin from some china site or get an unpainted replacement from the dealer.

Wrap it. You can always remove it later should you decide to repaint. 3M I hear is easier to work with.

I've used VViViD for a bunch of parts including my M Performance parts - great price as they're local (Montreal), good quality, really durable as it has yet to chip on my front lip with all the hwy driving I do and the material is fairly forgiving to work with for someone new to it.
