Anyone ever try wrapping their roofs themselves? Is it worth it? How hard is it etc? getting quoted around $350 to do the Roof and Mirrors.

TIA

That's not unreasonable IMO. Wrapping into the window channels can be challenging and the mirrors have several compound curves that can be tough as well. Since there is not a clear-cut division between the drip rail and roof panel, you'd need to have some knifeless tape or a very steady hand as well.

I had my roof done for $150.
No way I could have done it as well.

I've wrapped my roof myself, did it outside in my driveway with a hair dryer. Did need an extra hand to just hold certain parts while stretching but it came out great and lasted me about 2-3 years before starting to look bad

I started doing vinyl wrapping a few years ago. Roofs are by far the easiest area to wrap. Avery is the easiest brand to work with for beginners so I would recommend using that. The satellite antenna needs to come off buy it is not difficult to do, there are plenty of youtube videos. Start watching ckwraps videos on youtube and that should give you a good base understanding of how the mechanics of wrapping work and if you think you can do it or not.

I recommend painting the roof and the mirrors. The longtime quality will be much better.
Wrapping the mirrors is really hard and almost impossible to wrap it in one piece.

How much does it cost to have them painted?

Almost impossible... but with enough skill and time anything is possible.
