I hear of some people printing their own. Not sure how that works.

That looks cool, you can get the carbon fibre design etc on Ebay I believe . All you need then is a sharp stanley knife and a very steady hand

Do not be defeated,
A long time ago a friend of mine used to fit car decals, he let me in to a trade secret
Find an old spray bottle put in a squirt of washing up liquid, top up with luke warm water,take said provari/vamo or decal to be fitted,spray liberally with the soapy water, this then allows you to slide the decal into place & sponge off the excess water with sponge or cloth leave to dry over night so as not to move the wrapping.
You may find clip on youtube search for window tinting it will give you an idea of technique.
Get out your old ego to keep you going till morning

Yes, I`ve used that method tinting my sons car windows, works fantastic!! I used a rectangular piece of rubber, about 2 inches by 3 and used it as a squeejie, workd really well .

Just remembered I have a leather hole cutter thingy here somewhere, cuts holes in belts and other leather things. A choice of about 8 sizes of small holes. Should be perfect for cutting the small button holes on the Vamo. That was the only concern really. It would have looked crap with badly cut holes there.

Depending on what the covering is on the stuff I have ordered, I may be able to print directly onto the backing paper of the Gold covering, it will make it so much easier to cut right, first time.

Used 3m clear film same method for fitting to my car sills where clumsy people(children) catch their shoes on as they get in & out,
I made card board templates of each sill (4 doors & back bumper near boot lid) works great stops all scratches can hardly be seen.

Great idea

Robby,
I see your hole cutter for leather, was in The Range yesterday looking round the crafts section, i'm sure they would have some cutters for cutting holes in fabrics/vinyl as they have a very comprehensive set up.

Cool, I think this should work great, just printing off some templates in A4 paper to test for the right size puncher  I actually got it for my EGO T tanks when I got my first EGO, it seemed a crazy way to make a hole by just pushing over the spike looking thing on the atomiser. Made a slightly smaller hole than the spike and never got any leaks afterwards, still using the originals.

Got a perfect size for the small hole, the big hole will have to be a multi stage cut but should be fine

I love the wrap that's on my chrome Vamo from J-Wraps and would love another.If anyone who has bought some of the carbon fibre has any left,and can cut it so i can stick it straight on the Vamo,then please p.m me and i will buy it off you.It's a good solution for giving a tired Vamo a face lift.
Edit to add,obviously I mean if you have any left over that you won't be using yourself,lol.
