Re: Frame covers
I would have thought ebay. I would not use halfaurds as that costs a fortune from there.
How much you after?

Re: Frame covers
How about using some real carbon. Just use real thin stuff and it will be flexible.

Re: Frame covers
there is a difference in quality with vinyl wrap, if your doing small flat surfaces it ain't a problem using the cheap stuff, but if your doing something tricky or large panels, i'd suggest getting the best quality you can afford, the good stuff makes it very easy to work out the bubbles, i might give this stuff a try.
i think the industry standard is the 3m nyloc. very expensive tho. the problem is theres so many sellers and all their adverts are worded differently, you could end up paying more for a standard vinyl....
i've used these guys before and there pretty good...

i might try some of this 4d stuff in the near future....

no worries mick, it would be good to see you in blighty, i went looking for a box this evening, i'll pop to the post office for a price tomorrow dude...

Re: Frame covers
That's not good. You would think they would be pleased for a bit of customer feedback so they can improve the product not to mention reputation.Not very helpful
