kerry460 Elite Veteran Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: tasmania australia Vehicle(s): 1984 300GD LWB WAGEN Posts: 611 | RE: G-class with white roof G,,day . why not just buy some white plastic and white tape , cut to shape and stick that on to see how it looks . if you want to drive with it on do it in small overlapping pieces . we have a product called contact , an adhesive backed plastic for covering things . it will not look any where near as good as proper vinyl wrap . but a lot cheaper . and you may only need to do a round the outside edge of the roof to get an idea cheers, kerry | ||

Could probably do a reasonable job using a fine roller, for a roof. Might not last too long on a car but it would be easy to re-coat. They dont mention that it needs a primer either.

I went "the wrap" route. It will probably last me quite awhile as it is garaged when not on the road. The addition of the white roof compliments the R12 air conditioning quite well.

Braingears Expert Date registered: Apr 2006 Location: St Petersburg, FL Vehicle(s): G320 & ML320 Posts: 1450 | RE: G-class with white roof I want to make sure I am reading these correctly. Mercedes makes a tropical roof that is actually two roof shells. It has a standard roof with another roof shell suspended on top of it with an air gap in between them. Is that what you have? | ||

One roof is suspended over the other on numerous spacers/stilts. It's really quite a cool design idea. Edited by Inkblotz 3/23/2016 5:01 PM | ||
