I have a issue on my roof where birds have pooped on it and it has damaged the laquer to such an extent that its beyond a economical repair. would it suit the car if i got a tinter to put very good qualulity carbon film over it?

im getting my car done in black vinyl roof - spoiler and bonnet the reason im going for black is because apparently they dont do a wide enough carbon fiber roll to do the bonet which means u have to have a join down the centre they said it wouldnt be noticable until it shrinks slightly over the coming months thumbs up from me thou m8 i personally like it seems to be the big craze atm

I've used the CA-421,and all the films are flat finish surface.
This film is not cheap but i think the result and the 'easy fit' are superior than another films in the market.

i've seen a bonnet today with this film on, weave is not perfect lines but this was how it came on roll.
in certain lights you can see the fitting marks even from clean felt squeegees but this sort of thing probably only people in the know would look for this.
fitting time to a Fiesta bonnet, about 10 mins with no heat needed.
material price to do an Evo, £800 ish.
boss of said company's RS4 est. been totally wrapped in it
