I used vynal over a painted surface. I purchased the vynal from amazon and installed much of it myself. I have some experience but not much. Also had some medium sized images professionally printed; army stars and eagles, that cost about $50. I worried about the vynal pealing off so I didn't install anything in front of the wind screen until I had flown a few hours at 125 mph. Pealing was not an issue for me. I have a friend that covered his entire plane, and also found a guy who did it professionally. They were both very helpful. See if you can find someone who should be able to help you.
Joe Nunley Baker Florida Hi All, Anyone try vinyl wrap instead of paint? Cedric is almost done with the fill process and has to decide on paints. I’ve been reading a bit on vinyls and talked with the planevinyl.com folks - but still unsure. There are sure some advantages - especially weight if we can skip the prime. Can you wrap directly on filled/sealed composite? I’ve tried a few small bits and it seems secure and smooth. If you wrap directly on composite, how protected is the composite from UV? Clearly a vinyl wrap is not for long term outside parking, but longevity is pretty good if stored in a hanger - and if a replaceable leading edge doubler is used.
