A Cool Vinyl Idea!

3 Replies, 2190 Views

Here is a cool idea from YouTuber 'Custom Trackmaster' of customizing a train using Vinyl sheets that heat shrink. Not sure how well the vinyl sticks and whether it can take any abuse but this Spencer looks really cool and unique.
How come I don't remember a talking Spencer???



In this video he shows how he did this with a Lorry

Yes, I found videos where he showed it being done yesterday. I think he began to use it for making paintjobs that are meant to be easier to remove (by peeling off), and the heat shrinking is mainly to help the vinyl adapt to the object's shapes. From what I could see, it seems to work well as a relaxed alternative to forms of paint. Very nice method.

Perhaps if I had a sheet of light green vinyl and a small heat gun, I could've used this for Spenry (or any such custom) to replace the wheel stickers.

i can tell you from experience, vinyl wrap will peel off eventually especially the ones exposed to outdoor element. Treat the vinyl like a sticker.  Once the adhesives (behind the stickers) reache the end of the line, it will peel off.
