best way to cover a speaker pod in vinyl ???

[michigancapri92]

i made some speaker pods for my doors and they are attached to a panel for the bottom of the door .... what is the easiest way to cover them in vinyl ??? doesnt like to stretch very easily and contour to the curves

Use a heat gun, but dont over heat it or pull too hard or stretch marks will show

would a hair dryer work ?? dont have a heat gun lol

Im sure you could make it happen, might take a little bit longer. Ive used a hair dryer to heat up vinyl decals and it worked good

x2 use heat but be careful. and when you glue it spray both surfaces and let it sit for a bit to get tacky then apply the vinyl. if you spray it then immediately put it on youre going to have trouble getting it to stick

should i cover the pod in bondo and sand before covering in vinyl or can i just cover the fiberglass ??? also would the bondo give more strength to the pod ?

Every imperfection shows in vinyl so bondo over the fiberglass and sand smooth. The more solid the better when it comes to pods, thick is good.
