Cover pilot side panel with Vinyl. Wired COM radio

Since i’m considering vinyl wrapping the plane, instead of painting it, i thought it would be a good idea to vinyl wrap the instrument panel so I could get some experience. I’m in love. I enjoy vinyl wrapping MUCH better then paint. No worrying about dust or bugs getting in your finish. No need to suit up to apply it. No waiting for it to dry before handling it. I’m hooked!

I'm using 3M 1080 in matte black for the instrument panel

Before

After. I could have wrapped the film around the edges of all the holes, but I elected to trim it off instead, since you won't be able to see the edges of the cut-outs and holes once the instruments and switches are installed. I did wrap around the outer edges though.

Wires the GTR-200 COM radio tonight. Tomorrow I'll setup the power supply and ops check it. If everything checks out I will tie up the wires and install the tray
