Chromatic vinyl

I didn't get mine from Amazon but here is a similar one. If you have a hair dryer/heat gun you can coat almost anything.

Look for “car wraps.” You can get those in pretty big sizes.

Do you have an opinion on applying wraps to arcade cabinets. Got two and I am thinking them in wrapping them in these

I was inspired by some other works, such as this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/LenovoLegion/comments/n78bh6/made_a_skin_for_my_legion_5/
So I watched youtube tutorials, in particular, the ones by ck_wraps and adobo moto:
1. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_UpZvnF9C1A
2. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GO7QID_BglQ
3. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZcSOUlwtIHQ
4. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ua730hMOm5M
5. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TS8gTkqKj7o

The key takeaways are:

1. Patience
   
2. Heat helps
   
3. Slowing down is good
   
4. Need a sharp knife
   
5. Vinyl quality matters
   
6. When cutting around edges, slightly angle the blade away from the edge while pressing the dull side on the edge so that you can cut in a straight line
   
7. When cutting not around edges, slow down - like, super, super slow. Otherwise, it won't be straight.
   

Then I practiced by wrapping my old laptop, and my phone. I used two wraps:

1. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B077GTBGWB/ at first on my older laptop, which is beautiful but slightly thicker
   
2. I bought this https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08G9Y2WLR/ because I read good recommendations. Realized that this will be better with the Stingray; So I bought it and practiced on the phone; noticed that it is thinner and still good. So I used it on my Lenovo.
   

I also bought this:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JQHC5W3/
Only to realize that I don't need the red squeeze, only the blue one. The Blue squeeze and the Knife, and a hairdryer are sufficient for wrapping a laptop IMHO.

I also used one hand palm to kind of create half a dome around where I was blowing hot air at the wrap; this helps because you can prevent the air from passing over other places and can feel how hot it is going to get. Be careful so that you don't irritate/burn your skin.
I hope this helps!
