Wrapping sunroof to match body color
Hey guys, any ideas about wrapping the sunroof to match body color? The black sunroof really stands out on my yellow 2SS. Does anyone have any pictures of doing this?

Unless you find a wrap that is a color match with your factory paint, it will look weird and probably more than the black sunroof.
I'd wrap the roof black instead, would look way better and the match would be better as well.

i've actually never heard of anyone wrapping a sunroof. had to google to see if it existed.
as above said, wrap the entire roof a nice gloss black |

So I found a 3M color of bright yellow and that’s the Camaro color of my car, “bright yellow.” This should match because they have the same name.
Actually I’m able to buy a sample patch 3” x 5” to see if it matches. If so I might give it a shot. In general, are there any concerns with wrapping the sunroof; will it effect the sunroof seal to prevent water getting in, etc.?

Just because they have the same name doesnt really mean its the same color, different companies mix their color ratios differently in order to achieve certain colors. 3m's bright yellow might have a slightly different tone compared to GM.

Normally you would get a paint code and have a company match it, which is possible but can be expensive. I would wrap the whole roof in a gloss black if I were you. Would be one of the first things I would do on my new camaro anyway if it wernt already black.

I totally hear you about not fully matching; it was a terrible joke.
I’m starting to like the idea of wrapping the whole roof black. Time to start looking and getting quotes.
