Default Camo wrapped dak

So my 94 has the lovely peeling silver paint. I was thinking of getting a camo wrap and wraping the insert and repainting the upper and lower silver but was kinda wanting to do the realtree AP Wrap.

Anyone done this? got any pics?

want it to match my new custom fit seat covers that'll be here in a couple weeks.

Wrapping is not that tough. I just did a custom wrap on my mod sled.

I ordered a 6 foot by 4 foot sheet of vinyl and cut it to fit where ever I wanted. That sized sheet was only $200 to my door. With a little heat, you could about wrap anything! www.graphicsguyswraps.com were great to work with.

you can get hydro dipping kits but it looks like if you go with the wrap you will get more for the money and you you can do a lot larger areas with the wrap

I ALMOST used this camo for the wrap on my sled, but I didnt want to loose it in the snow. Would make a sweet camo pattern for trim on a truck, IMO! Can get it in most typical color combinations.

Morning Wood Camo:

Found a camo vinyl wrap from the guy BUMP listed for 130 for 2x 26"x120" pieces. However it isn't the pattern i am looking for.

And I found the dip kits which is cool as hell for $99 so i might get one of them too. but it's gonna be a bit since i am dirt fricking poor lol.

its real easy to do but you have to be real careful, theres a couple of real good videos on youtube of a guy that does it to picture frames and a tackle box

Yeah saw those vids im curious tho if you could mask your dash bezels tho so that it would still be black around the gauges but camo around where it's currently wood grain give it that factory look im really considering getting a kit it would be actually pretty cool to do the interior pieces, and maybe moldings and flairs. Then i'd just repaint it and run some real tree 4x4 decals or something i think a guy could do it and make it look like it was a factory option package. Just kinda my thought.

JUST CURIOUS IF YOU CAN CUT THE SHEETS OF THE TRANSFER PAPER OR WHATEVER SO YOU COULD GET MULTIPLE MOLDINGS DONE OUTTA A SHEET. I GUESS IT COMES IN SHEETS.
