Vinyl covering- the tangerine dream!

[chippie]

Check out iCarbons.com. They have Mavic skins. A bit more expensive but they have really good products as I've used on other devices. Below is link to Mavic page. Also have controller only skin. It also be cool to put matching wrap on tablet or phone as they do those too.

Mavic Pro Skins - Carbon Fiber

I have Taco's but have been hesitant to put on.

Nice find but $14 for just the battery skin! That is really steep, I have 8 batteries :-( lol

I think this will only work if your props are white to start with unfortunately.

Dammitall... That would have been really cool

Yeah I know, bright red or orange props would look pretty cool.

Maybe using bleach and then putting dye on it? I dont have the dye or the props yet so I cant try but who knows

Why would I be interested in that? lol.

I would never dye props. Pointless. This wrap serves a purpose for me to protect and distract birds. Plus it makes mine identifiable

I appreciate the homemade approach, but the one I bought has less reliefs in it, which I like better

OK I know the obvious con would be permanent but could I paint the drobe direct with say car paint with the elastic additive they use for bumpers to stop paint splitting

Does anyone have a cut sheet with the measurements of each face of the Mavic? I have a vinyl cutting machine but do not have the dimensions for all the sides.

Covered my Mavic with Vinyl. Looked great but decided to go back and remove the skin. Turned out to be a disaster. Fortunately tried removing from one of the batteries first. Problem is that the glue does not come off easily. Tried using goof off and made things worse. The glue just spreads, is very difficult to remove and dries white on the Mavic's plastic. Has anyone successfully removed the skins and if not, think twice before installing. May be more permanent than you think.

Try methylated spirits
I make vinyl stickers for a living

 

[HueJorgan]

On another note.. The surface finish on the Mavic isn't exactly 'sticker friendly'. Need decals with good backing...

Vinyl should be a good quality 50 micron cast vinyl not polymeric vinyl as this is not conformable to curves cast vinyl is very conformable

I use this at work for wrapping cars

Glue on cheap vinyls is usually water based water and detergent are good to clean up

Meths works best tho

Just careful where you place this tape. It may hinder the GPS as it is reflective.

Reflective has powdered glass and small amounts of metal

I would avoid it to be honest
