Covering a cab with vinyl instead of painting - good idea?

Hey, thanks for sharing! That looks awesome! :applaud:
I've got the Donkey Kong Blue vinyl kit ordered from thisoldgame. Once that arrives and I find time to work on it, I'll be posting some pics as well!

You're welcome - I forgot about the vinyl kits from thisoldgame - they're an excellent option if you're looking for a solid colour.
Post it when you've got it done.
I wonder if you can a decal over that?
Be seeing you,

Looks great. Where did you get it printed / get your artwork? Curious what the exact treatment/product is called.
wonderalex:
I had it printed at Mirazed (http://www.mirazed.com/) a local print shop that specializes in large format printing (billboards, floor graphics, window graphics, trade show booths, et cetera) here in Montreal.
The vinyl material is MPI3000, the lamination is called Floorguard - and the printing, good question I think he told me that he printed my graphics on an Epson printer - I forget the model. UV resistant ink, I think the laminate protects against UV as well. The adhesive is the same stuff they use when doing floor graphics. It can take a pounding without peeling, but it's not permanent. I regret that - I should have gone with the permanent.
Be seing you,

Nice. How did you go about designing it - just Photoshop and then sent the image to them with desired dimensions?
I'll have to find a place here in the Toronto area for my upcoming bartop project.
