Grubbster Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I did my Academy car, start at the beginning of the build diary and you'll see how I got on.http://www.sevenracing.co.uk/Caterham_Build_Diary/Caterham_Build_Diary.htmlIt can be quite fiddly, I learned by watching youtube videos and did a pretty good job of most of it. I ended up paying someone to do the bonnet for me after a couple of attempts. The thicker vinyls are easier to work with but don't form into the shapes so well as the thinner vinyls though. Get some samples and have a practice - that's what I did on some front wings. If you pm me an address I can send you some of my offcuts to play with.

RS2000 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I did a smallish bit of wrap as can be seen in my signature picture - I did it to cover a crack in the nosecone and because I fancied something a bit different - Grubbster gave me advice as he had just done his academy car, his advice was invaluable!It is fairly straightforward depending on what you are wrapping, however the internal curves around the inside edge of the nosecone were tricky. It is quite forgiving so take your time and it should be ok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
