Vinyl wrapping?

I’ve heard back from @Sender so I may end up just getting a new deck and going that route- his work is sooooo slick…

In the mean time, I think I’m going to move forward with attempting the vinyl wrap, if for no other reason than I’d like the experience.

So I ordered some vinyl:

I’m not real sure about the color combo IRL though…

The material seems like the right stuff though?

are you saying for the enclosure or the deck? or both?

I’ve seen some pretty amazing hydrodip jobs, but I’ve seen some videos and that process intimidates the hell out of me :flushed:

Have you had good luck with it?

My suggestion was to check for a local guy that does Hydro dipping . Too complex for me. That’s what I ended up doing and was very pleased with the result, but if your going with Sender then no need. His stuff looks incredible.

The cool thing about the Hydro dipping is they can do the deck or enclosure, hell even the baseplates, trucks, or hubs. Good luck with the vinyl wrap!
