Yes!! The really cool thing is, every paint code has a name and the name for this paint code is "GECKO" so it's a little Inside thing, which is so cool!!! And yeah I really have no idea what the deal is with people blocking they're plates. Thanks Steve!

Hey I wouldn't mind doing that, but i think you could do it yourself. And my tips to you if you are thinking of doing it yourself are, You just half to to take your time and lay it out where it will be then glue a small section at a time, I started in the middle of the roof and SLOWLY worked my way down the one half and than the other, and It took about 3-4 days 1 day almost all day and the others at the end of the day, if I had to guess I'd say roughly 12-14 hours just because I did small sections at a time and the glue when you lay it down you have to wait 15-20 min before sticking the vinyl to the roof and also don't cut it exactly to the shape of the roof, leave about 3-4 inches extra until your right at gluing that part down because when the vinyl wraps around the roof it moves locations a bit. You Really just take your time and I do think it's a job most anyone can perform, the only real problem comes when you start to get impatient and cut corners and measure once and cut and you get the "oh ****! " reaction when you see the vinyl doesn't fully extend to where it should etc you get the point, we've all had those experiences. If you do Do it yourself, good luck!
