item!!??

They do that for high performance boats too.  It's supposed to be very
durable.  I think on boats it is sold as an emotional item - so $$. :o)

I don't know if you have seen the super graphics being done on cars where
they are putting basically anything you could print.  Also doing a lot of
race cars with this solution.  They call it wrapping a car.  They take a
plain colored car and everything else is "wrapped" in printed vinyl.  Cost
is about $1200.  I don't know about long term durability, but I know some
cars that are around here have had the wrap for at least two years.  If it
is durable enough, it would certainly be a great trim solution.  Paint the
plane white then "wrap" it up in some extraordinary graphics.

I first saw those vinyl stripes on a factory demonstrator. Looked great.

I was wondering what the collective thought of this group was on the use of
decals instead of a painted design on the airplane.  I was talking to a RV
builder the other day and he suggested them as a cheaper alternative to
painting on a design over the white paint.  Easy to repair also.  He also
mentioned that it was very popular in the RV community.  I can't get over
the feeling the it just doesn't seem right to use decals.  Sounds kind of
cheesy to me.  The Velocity is as gourgous as a beautifully restored hot
rod.  You certainly won't put decals on a hot rod.  Thoughts from the
group??
