Title: Some wrapping
Post by: Jules86 on August 26, 2010, 09:27:00 pm: Finished the aircon unit and coin tray surround. Took me ages and a trip to B&Q for some allen keys to unscrew the unit.

Heres it at the moment. Next will be the symphony II. I just need to get some keys so i can pull it out to wrap it.

But there where too many fine scratches in the vinyl n it was
Hard to get neat.
This might be a better option where did you get the vinyl from?
If you dont mind do you have a link?
Thanks

Post by: shortysclimbin on September 15, 2010, 02:29:03 am: Do you use a heat source or soap to get it into place when you do it? Or is this actual carbon with epoxy adhesive?

Post by: Jules86 on September 21, 2010, 01:12:02 am: It's a vinyl sticker with carbon texture. You use heat, pressure sticks it and lacquer holds it

Symphony head unit done

Good effort jules, Takes abit to get used to looking at!

Black Gloss perhaps as an idea ??

For me theres just too much of it .

Thats not an easy job to do with such detail.

Its the little details that matter :wink:

It looks much more subtle in the car. It's gone from black to black with a pattern so you don't notice it too much.

Ill try and get some better pics in the light tomorrow of the whole interior :happy2:

Title: Re: Some wrapping
Post by: Jules86 on September 25, 2010, 11:24:47 am: All done now. Keys and petrol cap were practise as they are very tricky.

I may do the roof but plain black, not carbon. I can do it for less than £50 so nothing to lose if i dont like it.

Post by: divweir on September 25, 2010, 05:01:32 pm: just do the whole car and house nothing to lose just your sanity :signLOL:
