michigancapri92 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 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 Quote Teamcapri.comThe TeamCapri 1992 Mercury Capri XR22012 FORD EDGE SQ BUILDOld build logMy FeedBack1992 Mercury capri XR2 Hyper LED Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyeagain15 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 Use a heat gun, but dont over heat it or pull too hard or stretch marks will show Quote My F-150 Build (So Far) 2 DC L3 10's Kenwood KDC-X794 (4) Selenium ST200 (Highs) (2) RE X8 (Mids) Sundown Sub/Mid/High Amps Shuriken Batteries Knu Wiring My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dyeagain15 Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 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 Quote My F-150 Build (So Far) 2 DC L3 10's Kenwood KDC-X794 (4) Selenium ST200 (Highs) (2) RE X8 (Mids) Sundown Sub/Mid/High Amps Shuriken Batteries Knu Wiring My Feedback Thread Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baaudio Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 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 Quote Team NWSPL baaudio Build Log 2001 GMC Sierra walkthrough 4 Mechman Elite 370s, 10 AGM batteries, 3 Crossfire XS v2 18s, Crossfire 8k Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michigancapri92 Posted December 6, 2010 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 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 ?

Type RF Posted December 6, 2010 Report Share Posted December 6, 2010 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.
