i ordered carbon fiber vinyl wrap to wrap my roof and trunk to avoid paying hundreds to fix paint delamination.
I chose carbon fiber because i wanted it to match my carbon fiber hood

Same thing i have going on; check out my profile. I started with carbon fiber but decided to go a different route. I will be sanding off all the damaged areas before wrapping. May also use 3m primer in those areas also.

I removed the door moldings, trunk lid spoiler, roof molding (thing that goes from the rear windshield all the way to the bottom of the front one), I didnt do this, bu i recommend removing the hood so you can work the edges more comfortably.

If you sand it down very well and get rid of the flaking clear coat you wont have to use primer in those areas. Make sure you get rid of all the weak clear coat or else the vinyl will left it up for sure. Where you should use primer is anywhere you have a less than 90 degree angle, for example the lower corner of the headlights, where the lip meets the bumper, where the rear bumper meets the trunk, and any other place where you had to stretch the material quite a bit.

I too work in the industry and will eventually be doing Matte white. All we use at our shop is 3m so will be getting gloss white and putting matte laminate on it. The laminate makes the life expectancy of the vinyl increase by a couple years at least... The sun out here will eat it up within a couple years w/o lam...
