IMHO you can wrap your roof without much issue, even with no experience. Here's what I'd recommend:
I would like to offer my opinion and response to a few things that u/urworstdaydreamr wrote that I felt needed some extra clarification:
>...it seems the top and preferred brand is Avery Dennison. Followed by, in no particular order: 3M, VVIVID, and Orafal/Oracal
Debatable - The top wrap film companies (by market share) are 3M, Avery Dennison, Orafol, Hexis, KPMF, Sott, and VVIVID. It is strongly recommended that you use 3M or Avery on your first wrap. They are the most widely used and are easy to find and purchase. They are also the most installer-friendly. Your preference will depend on a lot of small differences between the various companies. Please research not only how the vinyls install but how much residue and glue they leave behind when removed.
>“Air release/egress/channel” is as it sounds. The better brands, like those mentioned above, have a backing on the film that allows air trapped underneath the film to be pushed out.
Clarification - The backing paper has extremely thin "peaks" that run across the it and when the vinyl material is extruded onto the paper. The "peaks" in the paper form channels in the vinyl and adhesive which allow for air to pass through them when the paper backer is removed and the vinyl is applied to the car's surface.
The "Material and Prep Price" Section - Debatable
**PLEASE DO NOT BUY WRAP MATERIAL FROM EBAY OR AMAZON.** Buy from where the pros buy! Metro Restyling or Fellers are the places that we professionals buy material from. Both sites are open to the public and you can search for tools and a plethora of colors. Don't be swayed, buy good material.
I have full faith that you can do this without having to take it to a wrap shop! Good luck!!
I'd like to wrap the fiberglass top of my Eurovan Camper in silver chrome. Paint is smooth and cleans up nice and I'll have JUST enough width out of a 60" piece that I could do it all w/ this: http://www.amazon.com/Silver-adhesive-release-Air-Free-3MIL-VViViD8/dp/B00L9J5K2Y/ref=sr_1_3?srs=9167379011&ie=UTF8&qid=1456880725&sr=8-3&keywords=silver+chrome
What do you think? Big piece is a fairly easy shape, right? Where on the smaller front piece should I start to manage that big depression?
edit: Also, can I wrap the relatively sharp corners w/o special cuts, just heat and stretch?
Use eraser wheels. There are some cheap ones that work like this or this or even autozone I believe has these bit they are pricy. Or we use the MBX tool with the mbx wheel. That will eat it up quick, but those are pricy too. The first link get a good amount of those. The vinyl eats them up real fast.
These work really well for that, theyre also really good for lifting rubber to tuck
Remember I supply material.He said $550 if he supplys.
Not sure why its so much more when the material I want to use is roughly $70.00

I was looking up vivid’s ceramic coating on vinyls Do you think this will work?
Is this square feet? Would this be enough? 3m Black vinyl
https://www.amazon.com/VViViD-Matte-Pearl-Bubble-Channel/dp/B00MJ7OVT8 is this close?
I'm using "Ehdis" - I think that's a generic brand?

They don't have any felt on the bottom, just a piece of plastic.
