Possible cp/cabinet covering alternative... [pics!]
Nil8er:
Oscar can you give any advice about what I should do to the MDF before I try to adhere this covering? Should I sand the MDF or skuff it in some way before applying the vinyl?
Thanks.
Nyrine:
Is it really 10mm thick ?
Or does 10 mil mean something else ?
At 1cm (0.4") thats pretty hefty...
OSCAR:
I did nothing special to the MDF before I installed it. I just wiped it down with a damp cloth to remove any dust particles before installing it.
1 mil = .001", so this vinyl is about .01" thick.
Lilwolf:
I REALLY like the texture look of it. I got some vinyl on ebay really cheap a while ago... but it's very smooth an has that plasticy look that you mentioned.
but the nice thing about it is it matched the rest of my cab (smooth black) so i could use it for a few places that needed a touch up.
I might have to get some more though. I really like the texture!
HeadRusch:
For what its worth, this is very similar to the "look" of that Rustoleum Hammered Black paint I slathered on my cab 2 weeks ago.
I like the idea of using it for a CP overlay....no need to lexan I would imagine if the stuff is thick enough, yes?
Hmmm.....does Parts Express have a minimum? I might order some just to have handy in case I wanna play....
