3M tunnel vinyl questions

[Snowbird11]

I don't know about snow stick, but I can see where this will scuff easy and I know that dust sticks to it like crazy because of the texture. I'm hoping I didn't make a huge mistake. But, for now, it looks awesome!

whitaker,

How's the wrap holding up? is the di-noc carbon fiber texture shedding snow as intended?

DI-NOC

I can't speak about shedding snow yet as I have not tried it. But I'm very happy with end product so far.

So the wrap is to shed snow. Does any one paint?

A buddy did a tunnel in a purple (to each his own LOL). He prepped and used proper aluminum primer, then painted his own mix for color over it (spray gun, room temp). Couple of days work to let the coats dry.
It did the job (less snow build-up) and lasted well past the 3 years he owned it. He even painted the running boards and they wore nicely like a pair of jeans lol.

I've seen threads start over the years about some of the teflon paints but never heard of the finished results.

Any thoughts or experience? Of course if it is about the bling, there are some purdy sleds out there.

Just had mine painted, they have done several and said wears really well. He did gloss black, with clear 3m in wear areas. Hope it looks good after a season of riding.

Whittaker, i have to ask, because i am amazed, are your side panels wrapped in sections? or one massive piece heat formed into place. I work with this material all the time and have turned down many guys wanting that done, purely because it seems like a frikin nightmare to try and do it with one piece and i dont like seeming things together.
