Vinyl Wrap On A Bottle?

[brawler1588]

I was wondering has anyone wrapped their bottles with a vinyl or something thin. I usually use the shrink one used for Fishing poles but it does add some girth that said with it on my bottle and my shroud things were getting a little to close for my liking. I removed both and I feel it looks off just me but want to do something to it that isn't to thick. I have wrapped some stuff but haven't seen a bottle done yet.

I've wrapped a coupla guns in vinyl, but not an actual air cylinder.

I can see that it might take a coupla shots at it to get the end of the cylinder done properly, that is without, or with minimum wrinkles..! I'd also do the cylinder..."off" of the gun to get even heat, all the way around the cylinder. Remember, once the cylinder (any parts) ae wrapped, go over the entire cylinder / gun with the heat gun to "set" the wrap.

Be sure to have a good heat gun on hand !

I wrapped my M3. The bottle was a bit of a pain to do, but on the second try it came out great.

So definitely not the best but already better than the stock bottle.

I like the carbon fiber wraps.

The nice thig about vinyl wraps, if you mess up, or don't like the pattern...you rip it off and...start all over again.

While on paper it's a very simple process, it takes a little work to get it right, but again, as they say...practice makes perfect .

There's on harm, extra work, or cleanup once removed. Just start again.

I wrapped the dash (steel dash) of one of my cars... See the above comments, that's how I know !

I think you did a very good job of wrapping the tank…did you do this from one piece of wrap or did you seam it? What size sheet did you use ..like a 2’ x 2’ square or round to start with…I have tried a couple of different ways with other stuff …I have been building my new M4…. It’s a little different then the M3…and most of the parts don’t interchange with each other…so I have have to come up with some new ideas…I am trying stay with black and copper …found a copper wrap that is close to the body for the tank along with decales .. was going plastic dip it …but I would rather wrap it…I want to also do the upper and lower rails…I wanted to get the anodized they can’t match the color..right now they are trying to match up the color to have it Cerakote Ceramic..that’s not
Looking good either …any input would be much appreciated…thanks Mark
