Don't forget there are more choices than just carbon print, gloss, chrome, and matte.

I posted this last month. Tilt Graphics had this in their booth at Pintastic, and replied to my post 10 posts after to clarify they were not currently for sale, and basically doing it for fun.

The lock down bar they had done was not totally smooth in the corners. The one above looks great, and must be thinner vinyl.

Wrapping the legs on my FT has been on my list of things to do since I saw that.

Quoted from dudah:

At the corner I tried cutting a 45 degree line to try to overlap it and it turned out... OK.

I would start will a small piece of vinyl and practice wrapping the corner using tutorials from youtube.

Checked the mailbox, but no vinyl today.

I will be happy if I get a couple legs done smoothly with their contour.

Mom always wants to do a craft project when she visits, and wrapping goes faster with extra hands...

I don't miss those rusty FT legs. FISH ON!!

Quoted from Darth_Chuckles:

I'm toying with doing this to my Xenon. Any recommendations for color and/or pattern?

Start with the legs. They are easiest and you can decide if you like the color. If you don't like the color, try those legs on another pin.

Quoted from phillymadison:

I thought legs are hard to do?

Nope, just time consuming. Best part is that any little bubble that remains, you will never notice on the leg.

Quoted from Mr_Tantrum:

On another note if you are trying to add some temporary color then plastic dip could be an option.

Just watched some videos about this stuff. Lockdown bars are so tricky, this might be an easy solution. I guess it takes about 5 or 6 coats with 15min each to dry. It seems like for HUO, it should be about as permanent as vinyl. I see they sell matalizer and pearlizer to finish the plasti dip. (and gloss finish)

With the current textured powder coat on modern Sterns it seems vinyl is not an option but plastidip should work.
