DIY -- Vinyl Wrapped my Netbook!

This stuff is really popular in the automotive industry because it's relatively easy to apply, not to mention cost effective against real carbon fiber and re-painting the car. A simple wrap will transform your car to your desire, whether it is in textured carbon fiber, or matte colors, you will be pleased!

I purchased it through this online store called metro restyling and the total came out to be $8 bucks before shipping

As an experiment, i tried wrapping my netbook in 3M's Di-Noc white Carbon Fiber vinyl wrap. the install was easy but time consuming.

tools required: exacto knife (or cheap asian "cutta" ones you see in tvb emo suicidal scenes). and a hair dryer (to generate heat to make vinyl pliable)

1) cut out the piece a little bigger than your netbook (stick out 1 inch on all sides)
2) peel off backing and lay it on
3) remove bubbles and ripples (vinyl is quite stiff so i removing the bubbles was easy)
4) heat up the edges and corners pulling the vinyl taut and pressing on the edges to ensure proper adhesion.
5) inspect your work and redo any areas you missed
6) cut away with your knife at the excess edges SLOWLY ( i cut too fast and my knife slipped and cut some of the vinyl that should stay on my netbook)
7) heat up the edges and corners again and press firmly on the sides


Wa lau jor ho dor hon a! yeet BAO in my washroom!
I will take better pics of the seams and edges later! these pics came out weird as my phone was running out of batteries...
if you have left over vinyl from your car, this would be a great weekend project! Practice ha chi d hor yee chi gor car! heh heh! lol
